Matthew - ch 11 v 1 - 20
- And it came to pass when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
- Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
- And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
- Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye hear and see:
- The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
- And blessed is he to whom I shall not be the cause of his falling into sin.
- And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
- But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
- But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
- For this is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
- Verily, I say to you, among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.
- And from the days of John the Baptist, until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
- For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
- And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah who was to come.
- He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
- But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like to children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,
- And saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; We have mourned to you, and ye have not lamented.
- For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon.
- The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man gluttonous, and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.
- Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they repented not.
