And{G2532} it came to pass{G1096} when{G3753} Jesus{G2424} had finished{G5055} commanding{G1299} his{G846} twelve{G1427} disciples,{G3101} he departed{G3327} thence{G1564} to teach{G1321} and{G2532} preach{G2784} in{G1722} their{G846} cities.{G4172}

Now when{G1161} John{G2491} heard{G191} in{G1722} the prison{G1201} the works{G2041} of the Christ,{G5547} he sent{G3992} by{G1417} his{G846} disciples{G3101}

and said{G2036} unto him,{G846} art{G1488} thou{G4771} he that comes,{G2064} or{G2228} look we for{G4328} another?{G2087}

And Jesus{G2424} answered{G611} and said{G2036} unto them,{G846} Go{G4198} and tell{G518} John{G2491} the{G518} things which{G3739} you hear{G191} and{G2532} see:{G991}

the blind{G5185} receive their sight,{G308} and{G2532} the lame{G5560} walk,{G4043} the lepers{G3015} are cleansed,{G2511} and{G2532} the deaf{G2974} hear,{G191} and the dead{G3498} are raised up,{G1453} and{G2532} the poor{G4434} have good tidings preached to them.{G2097}

And{G2532} blessed{G3107} is{G2076} he,{G3739} whosoever{G1437} shall{G4624} find no{G3361} occasion of stumbling{G4624} in{G1722} me.{G1698}

And as{G1161} these{G5130} went their way,{G4198} Jesus{G2424} began{G756} to say{G3004} unto the multitudes{G3793} concerning{G4012} John,{G2491} What{G5101} went ye out{G1831} into{G1519} the wilderness{G2048} to behold?{G2300} a reed{G2563} shaken{G4531} with{G5259} the wind?{G417}

But{G235} what{G5101} went ye out{G1831} to see?{G1492} a man{G444} clothed{G294} in{G1722} soft{G3120} [clothes]?{G2440} Behold,{G2400} they that{G3588} wear{G5409} soft{G3120} [clothes] are{G1526} in{G1722} kings'{G935} houses.{G3624}

But{G235} why{G5101} went ye out?{G1831} to see{G1492} a prophet?{G4396} Yea,{G3483} I say{G3004} unto you,{G5213} and{G2532} much more than{G4053} a prophet.{G4396}

This{G3778} is{G2076} he, of{G4012} whom{G3739} it is written,{G1125} Behold,{G2400} I{G1473} send{G649} my{G3450} messenger{G32} before{G4253} thy{G4675} face,{G4383} Who{G3739} shall prepare{G2680} thy{G4675} way{G3598} before{G1715} thee.{G4675}

Verily{G281} I say{G3004} unto you,{G5213} Among{G1722} them that are born{G1084} of women{G1135} there has{G1453} not{G3756} arisen{G1453} a greater than{G3187} John{G2491} the Baptist:{G910} yet{G1161} he that is but little{G3398} in{G1722} the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076} greater than{G3187} he.{G846}

And{G1161} from{G575} the days{G2250} of John{G2491} the Baptist{G910} until{G2193} now{G737} the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} suffereth violence,{G971} and{G2532} men of violence{G973} take{G726} it{G846} by force.{G726}

For{G1063} all{G3956} the prophets{G4396} and{G2532} the law{G3551} prophesied{G4395} until{G2193} John.{G2491}

And{G2532} if{G1487} you are willing{G2309} to receive{G1209} [it], this{G846} is{G2076} Elijah,{G2243} that{G3588} is{G3195} to come.{G2064}

He that has{G2192} ears{G3775} to hear,{G191} let him hear.{G191}

But{G1161} whereunto{G5101} shall I compare{G3666} this{G3778} generation?{G1074} It is{G2076} like unto{G3664} sons{G3808} sitting{G2521} in{G1722} the marketplaces,{G58} who{G2532} call unto{G4377} their{G846} fellows{G3664}

and{G2532} say,{G3004} We piped{G832} unto you,{G5213} and{G2532} ye did not{G3756} dance;{G3738} we wailed,{G2354} and{G2532} ye did{G2875} not{G3756} mourn.{G2875}

For{G1063} John{G2491} came{G2064} neither{G3383} eating{G2068} nor{G3383} drinking,{G4095} and{G2532} they say,{G3004} He hath{G2192} a demon.{G1140}

The Son{G5207} of man{G444} came{G2064} eating{G2068} and{G2532} drinking,{G4095} and{G2532} they say,{G3004} Behold,{G2400} a gluttonous{G5314} man{G444} and{G2532} a winebibber,{G3630} a friend{G5384} of tax collectors{G5057} and{G2532} sinners!{G268} And{G2532} wisdom{G4678} is justified{G1344} by{G575} her{G846} [ works.]{G5043}

Then{G5119} began he{G756} to upbraid{G3679} the cities{G4172} where{G3739} most{G4118} of{G1411} his{G846} mighty works{G1411} were done,{G1096} because{G3754} they repented{G3340} not.{G3756}

Woe{G3759} unto thee,{G4671} Chorazin!{G5523} woe{G3759} unto thee,{G4671} Bethsaida!{G966} for{G3754} if{G1487} the mighty works{G1411} had been done{G1096} in{G1722} Tyre{G5184} and{G2532} Sidon{G4605} which were done{G1096} in{G1722} you,{G5213} they{G3340} would have{G302} repented{G3340} long ago{G3819} in{G1722} sackcloth{G4526} and{G2532} ashes.{G4700}

But{G4133} I say{G3004} unto you,{G5213} it shall be{G2071} more tolerable{G414} for Tyre{G5184} and{G2532} Sidon{G4605} in{G1722} the day{G2250} of judgment{G2920} than{G2228} for you.{G5213}

And{G2532} you,{G4771} Capernaum,{G2584} shall you be exalted{G5312} unto{G2193} heaven?{G3772} you shall go down{G2601} unto{G2193} Hades:{G86} for{G3754} if{G1487} the mighty works{G1411} had been done{G1096} in{G1722} Sodom{G4670} which were done{G1096} in{G1722} thee,{G4671} it{G3306} would have{G302} remained{G3306} until{G3360} this day.{G4594}

But{G4133} I say{G3004} unto you{G5213} that{G3754} it shall be{G2071} more tolerable{G414} for the land{G1093} of Sodom{G4670} in{G1722} the day{G2250} of judgment,{G2920} than{G2228} for thee.{G4671}

At{G1722} that{G1565} season{G2540} Jesus{G2424} answered{G611} and said,{G2036} I thank{G1843} thee,{G4671} O Father,{G3962} Lord{G2962} of heaven{G3772} and{G2532} earth,{G1093} that{G3754} you did hide{G613} these things{G5023} from{G575} the wise{G4680} and{G2532} understanding,{G4908} and{G2532} did reveal{G601} them{G846} unto babes:{G3516}

Yes,{G3483} Father,{G3962} for{G3754} so{G3779} it was{G1096} well-pleasing{G2107} in{G1715} thy sight.{G4675}

All things{G3956} have been delivered{G3860} unto me{G3427} of{G5259} my{G3450} Father:{G3962} and{G2532} no one{G3762} knows{G1921} the Son,{G5207} save{G1487} the{G3361} Father;{G3962} neither{G3761} does any{G5100} know{G1921} the Father,{G3962} save{G1487} the{G3361} Son,{G5207} and{G2532} he to whomever{G3739} the{G1437} Son{G5207} willeth{G1014} to reveal{G601} him.

Come{G1205} unto{G4314} me,{G3165} all{G3956} ye that labor{G2872} and{G2532} are heavy laden,{G5412} and I{G2504} will give{G373} you{G5209} rest.{G373}

Take{G142} my{G3450} yoke{G2218} upon{G1909} you,{G5209} and{G2532} learn{G3129} of{G575} me;{G1700} for{G3754} I am{G1510} meek{G4235} and{G2532} lowly{G5011} in heart:{G2588} and{G2532} ye shall find{G2147} rest{G372} unto{G5590} your{G5216} souls.{G5590}

For{G1063} my{G3450} yoke{G2218} is easy,{G5543} and{G2532} my{G3450} burden{G5413} is{G2076} light.{G1645}
