11Matthew 11

1And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and to preach in their cities.Select Matthew 11:1

2Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him:Select Matthew 11:2

3Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another?Select Matthew 11:3

4And Jesus making answer said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen.Select Matthew 11:4

5The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached to them.Select Matthew 11:5

6And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me.Select Matthew 11:6

7And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?Select Matthew 11:7

8But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments, are in the houses of kings.Select Matthew 11:8

9But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea I tell you, and more than a prophet.Select Matthew 11:9

10For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before my face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.Select Matthew 11:10

11Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.Select Matthew 11:11

12And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away.Select Matthew 11:12

13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John:Select Matthew 11:13

14And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come.Select Matthew 11:14

15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.Select Matthew 11:15

16But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the market place.Select Matthew 11:16

17Who crying to their companions say: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have lamented, and you have not mourned.Select Matthew 11:17

18For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say: He hath a devil.Select Matthew 11:18

19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners. And wisdom is justified by her children.Select Matthew 11:19

20Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance.Select Matthew 11:20

21Woe thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes.Select Matthew 11:21

22But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.Select Matthew 11:22

23And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day.Select Matthew 11:23

24But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee.Select Matthew 11:24

25At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones.Select Matthew 11:25

26Yea, Father: for so hath it seemed good in thy sight.Select Matthew 11:26

27All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him.Select Matthew 11:27

28Come to me all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you.Select Matthew 11:28

29Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: And you shall find rest to your souls.Select Matthew 11:29

30For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.Select Matthew 11:30
