Matthew 11:16-30

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.
