Matthew 11:12-24

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.
