1And it came to passe, when Iesus had made an end of commaunding his twelue Disciples, hee departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.Select Matthew 11:1

2Now when Iohn had heard in the prison the workes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,Select Matthew 11:2

3And said vnto him, Art thou hee that should come? Or doe wee looke for another?Select Matthew 11:3

4Iesus answered and saide vnto them, Go and shew Iohn againe those things which we doe heare and see:Select Matthew 11:4

5The blind receiue their sight, and the lame walke, the lepers are cleansed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore haue the Gospel preached to them.Select Matthew 11:5

6And blessed is he, whoseouer shal not be offended in me.Select Matthew 11:6

7And as they departed, Iesus began to say vnto the multitudes concerning Iohn, what went ye out into the wildernesse to see? a reede shaken with the winde?Select Matthew 11:7

8But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that weare soft cloathing, are in kings houses.Select Matthew 11:8

9But what went ye out for to see? A Prophet? yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet.Select Matthew 11:9

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

11Uerely I say vnto you, Among them that are borne of women, there hath not risen a greater then Iohn the Baptist: notwithstanding, hee that is least in the kingdome of heauen, is greater then he.Select Matthew 11:11

12And from the dayes of Iohn the Baptist, vntill now, the kingdome of heauen suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.Select Matthew 11:12

13For all the Prophets, and the Law prophecied vntill Iohn.Select Matthew 11:13

14And if ye wil receiue it, this is Elias which was for to come.Select Matthew 11:14

15Hee that hath eares to heare, let him heare.Select Matthew 11:15

16But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like vnto children, sitting in the markets, and calling vnto their fellowes,Select Matthew 11:16

17And saying, we haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not danced: wee haue mourned vnto you, and ye haue not lamented.Select Matthew 11:17

18For Iohn came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, he hath a deuill.Select Matthew 11:18

19The sonne of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a wine bibber, a friend of publicanes and sinners: but wisedom is iustified of her children.Select Matthew 11:19

20Then began he to vpbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not.Select Matthew 11:20

21Woe vnto thee Chorazin, woe vnto thee Bethsaida: for if the mightie workes which were done in you, had bene done in Tyre and Sidon, they would haue repented long agoe in sackcloth and ashes.Select Matthew 11:21

22But I say vnto you, It shall bee more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of iudgement, then for you.Select Matthew 11:22

23And thou Capernaum, which art exalted vnto heauen, shalt be brought downe to hell: For if the mighty works which haue beene done in thee, had bin done in Sodome, it would haue remained vntil this day.Select Matthew 11:23

24But I say vnto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in þe day of iudgment, then for thee.Select Matthew 11:24

25At that time Iesus answered, and said, I thanke thee, O Father, Lord of heauen and earth, because thou hast hid these things frō the wise & prudent, & hast reueiled them vnto babes.Select Matthew 11:25

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

27All things are deliuered vnto me of my father: and no man knoweth the sonne but the father: neither knoweth any man the father, saue the sonne, and hee to whomsoeuer the sonne will reueile him.Select Matthew 11:27

28Come vnto me all yee that labour, and are heauy laden, and I will giue you rest.Select Matthew 11:28

29Take my yoke vpon you, and learne of me, for I am meeke and lowly in heart: and yee shall find rest vnto your soules.Select Matthew 11:29

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