Matthew - ch 11 v 1 - 20

  1. It happened that when Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
  2. Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
  3. and said to him, "Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?"
  4. Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
  5. the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear,1 the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.2
  6. Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me."
  7. As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
  8. But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king's houses.
  9. But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
  10. For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.'3
  11. Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
  12. From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.4
  13. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
  14. If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
  15. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
  16. "But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
  17. and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you didn't dance. We mourned for you, and you didn't lament.'
  18. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
  19. The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children.5"
  20. Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn't repent.
  1. Isaiah 35:5
  2. Isaiah 61:1-4
  3. Malachi 3:1
  4. or, plunder it.
  5. NU reads "actions" instead of "children"
