Revised Literal Translation

1AndG2532 it came to passG1096, whenG3753 JesusG3588G2424 had made an end ofG5055 commandingG1299 hisG846 twelveG1427 disciplesG3101, he departedG3327 thenceG1564 to teachG1321 andG2532 to preachG2784 inG1722 theirG846 citiesG3588G4172. 2Now whenG1161 JohnG2491 had heardG191 inG1722 the prisonG3588G1201 the worksG3588G2041 of ChristG3588G5547, he sentG3992 twoG1417 ofG3588G3101 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, 3And saidG3004 unto himG846, ArtG1510 thouG4771 he that should comeG2064, orG2228 do we look forG4328 anotherG2087? 4JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto themG846, GoG4198 and shewG518 JohnG2491 againG518 those things whichG3739 ye do hearG191 andG2532 seeG991: 5The blindG5185 receive their sightG308, andG2532 the lameG5560 walkG4043, the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511, andG2532 the deafG2974 hearG191, the deadG3498 are raised upG1453, andG2532 the poorG4434 have the gospel preached to themG2097. 6AndG2532 blessedG3107 isG1510 he, whosoeverG3739G1437 shallG4624 notG3361 be offendedG4624 inG1722 meG1473.

7And asG1161 theyG3778 departedG4198, JesusG3588G2424 beganG756 to sayG3004 unto the multitudesG3588G3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, WhatG5101 went ye outG1831 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 withG5259 the windG417? 8ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831 for to seeG3708? A manG444 clothedG294 inG1722 softG3120 raimentG2440? beholdG3708, they thatG3588 wearG5409 softG3120 clothing areG1510 inG1722 kings’G3588G935 housesG3588G3624. 9ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831 for to seeG3708? A prophetG4396? yeaG3483, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, andG2532 more thanG4053 a prophetG4396. 10ForG1063 thisG3778 isG1510 he, ofG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG3708, IG1473 sendG649 myG1473 messengerG3588G32 beforeG4253 thyG4771 faceG4383, whichG3739 shall prepareG2680 thyG4771 wayG3588G3598 beforeG1715 theeG4771. 11VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, AmongG1722 them that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there hathG1453 notG3756 risenG1453 a greater thanG3173 JohnG2491 the BaptistG3588G910: notwithstandingG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772 isG1510 greater thanG3173 heG846. 12AndG1161 fromG575 the daysG3588G2250 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG3588G910 untilG2193 nowG737 the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772 suffereth violenceG971, andG2532 the violentG973 takeG726 itG846 by forceG726. 13ForG1063 allG3956 the prophetsG3588G4396 andG2532 the lawG3588G3551 prophesiedG4395 untilG2193 JohnG2491. 14AndG2532 ifG1487 ye willG2309 receiveG1209 it, thisG846 isG1510 ElijahG2243, whichG3588 was forG3195 to comeG2064. 15He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.

16ButG1161 whereuntoG5101 shall I likenG3666 thisG3778 generationG3588G1074? It isG1510 like untoG3664 childrenG3808 sittingG2521 inG1722 the marketsG58, andG2532 calling untoG4377 theirG846 fellowsG3588G2083, 17AndG2532 sayingG3004, We have pipedG832 unto youG4771, andG2532 ye haveG3738 notG3756 dancedG3738; we have mournedG2354 unto youG4771, andG2532 ye haveG2875 notG3756 lamentedG2875. 18ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 neitherG3383 eatingG2068 norG3383 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, He hathG2192 a devilG1140. 19The SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 andG2532 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, BeholdG3708 a manG444 gluttonousG5314, andG2532 a winebibberG3630, a friendG5384 of publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268. ButG2532 wisdomG3588G4678 is justifiedG1344 ofG575 herG846 childrenG3588G5043.

20ThenG5119 began heG756 to upbraidG3679 the citiesG3588G4172 whereinG1722G3739 mostG3588G4118 ofG1411 hisG846 mighty worksG1411 were doneG1096, becauseG3754 they repentedG3340 notG3756: 21WoeG3759 unto theeG4771, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 unto theeG4771, BethsaidaG966! forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG3588G1411, which were doneG3588G1096 inG1722 youG4771, had been doneG1096 inG1722 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, theyG3340 would haveG302 repentedG3340 long agoG3819 inG1722 sackclothG4526 andG2532 ashesG4700. 22ButG4133 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, It shall beG1510 more tolerableG414 for TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605 atG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for youG4771. 23AndG2532 thouG4771, CapernaumG2584, which art exaltedG5312 untoG2193 heavenG3588G3772, shalt be brought downG2601 toG2193 hellG86: forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG3588G1411, which have been doneG1096 inG1722 theeG4771, had been doneG1096 inG1722 SodomG4670, itG3306 would haveG302 remainedG3306 untilG3360 this dayG4594. 24ButG4133 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 it shall beG1510 more tolerableG414 for the landG1093 of SodomG4670 inG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for theeG4771.

25AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG3588G2540 JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, I thankG1843 theeG4771, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3588G3772 andG2532 earthG3588G1093, becauseG3754 thou hast hidG613 these thingsG3778 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601 themG846 unto babesG3516. 26Even soG3483, FatherG3588G3962: forG3754 soG3779 it seemedG1096 goodG2107 inG1715 thyG4771 sightG1715. 27All thingsG3956 are deliveredG3860 unto meG1473 ofG5259 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962: andG2532 no manG3762 knowethG1921 the SonG3588G5207, butG1487 the FatherG3588G3962; neitherG3761 knowethG1921 any manG5100 the FatherG3588G3962, saveG1487G3361 the SonG3588G5207, andG2532 he to whomsoeverG3739G1437 the SonG3588G5207 willG1014 revealG601 him.

28ComeG1205 untoG4314 meG1473, allG3956 ye that labourG2872 andG2532 are heavy ladenG5412, and IG2504 will giveG373 youG4771 restG373. 29TakeG142 myG1473 yokeG3588G2218 uponG1909 youG4771, andG2532 learnG3129 ofG575 meG1473; forG3754 I amG1510 meekG4239 andG2532 lowlyG5011 in heartG3588G2588: andG2532 ye shall findG2147 restG372 untoG3588G5590 yourG4771 soulsG3588G5590. 30ForG1063 myG1473 yokeG2218 is easyG5543, andG2532 myG1473 burdenG3588G5413 isG1510 lightG1645.
