1And 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.⇆ compare2Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,⇆ compare3And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?⇆ compare4Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see:⇆ compare5The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.⇆ compare6And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.⇆ compare7And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?⇆ compare8But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.⇆ compare9But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.⇆ compare10For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.⇆ compare11Verily I say unto 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.⇆ compare12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.⇆ compare13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.⇆ compare14And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come.⇆ compare15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.⇆ compare16But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,⇆ compare17And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.⇆ compare18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.⇆ compare19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.⇆ compare20Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:⇆ compare21Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.⇆ compare22But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.⇆ compare23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.⇆ compare24But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for thee.⇆ compare25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.⇆ compare26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.⇆ compare27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.⇆ compare28Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.⇆ compare29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.⇆ compare30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.⇆ compare
