Matthew 11:12-24

12AndG1161 fromG575 the daysG2250 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 untilG2193 nowG737 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 suffereth violenceG971, andG2532 the violentG973 takeG726 itG846 by forceG726.1 13ForG1063 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 andG2532 the lawG3551 prophesiedG4395 untilG2193 JohnG2491. 14AndG2532 ifG1487 ye willG2309 receiveG1209 it, thisG846 isG2076 ElijahG2243, whoG3588 wasG3195 to comeG2064. 15He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.

16ButG1161 to whatG5101 shall I likenG3666 thisG5026 generationG1074? It isG2076 likeG3664 childrenG3808 sittingG2521 inG1722 the marketsG58, andG2532 callingG4377 to theirG846 companionsG2083, 17AndG2532 sayingG3004, We have pipedG832 to youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG3738 notG3756 dancedG3738; we have mournedG2354 to youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG2875 notG3756 lamentedG2875. 18ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 neitherG3383 eatingG2068 norG3383 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, He hathG2192 a demonG1140. 19The SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 andG2532 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, BeholdG2400 a manG444 gluttonousG5314, andG2532 a winebibberG3630, a friendG5384 of tax collectorsG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268. ButG2532 wisdomG4678 is justifiedG1344 byG575 herG846 childrenG5043. 20ThenG5119 he beganG756 to upbraidG3679 the citiesG4172 inG1722 whichG3739 mostG4118 of hisG846 mighty worksG1411 had been doneG1096, becauseG3754 they repentedG3340 notG3756: 21WoeG3759 to theeG4671, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 to theeG4671, BethsaidaG966! forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411, whichG3588 had been doneG1096 inG1722 youG5213, had been doneG1096 inG1722 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, they would have repentedG3340 long agoG302G3819 inG1722 sackclothG4526 andG2532 ashesG4700. 22ButG4133 I sayG3004 to youG5213, It shall beG2071 more tolerableG414 for TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605 atG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for youG5213. 23AndG2532 thouG4771, CapernaumG2584, whichG3588 art exaltedG5312 toG2193 heavenG3772, shalt be brought downG2601 toG2193 hellG86: forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411, whichG3588 have been doneG1096 inG1722 theeG4671, had been doneG1096 inG1722 SodomG4670, it would have remainedG302G3306 untilG3360 this dayG4594. 24ButG4133 I sayG3004 to youG5213, ThatG3754 it shall beG2071 more tolerableG414 for the landG1093 of SodomG4670 inG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for theeG4671.
