Matthew 11:1-15

[1] 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.  [2] Now  when John  had heard  in  the prison  the works  of Christ,  he sent  of his  disciples,  [3] And said  unto him,  thou  he that should come,  or  do we look  for another?  [4] Jesus  answered  and  said  unto them,  Go  John  again  those things which  ye do hear  and  see:  [5] The 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.  [6] And  blessed  he, whosoever  be offended  in  [7] And  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?  [8] But  what  went ye out  A man  clothed  in  soft  behold,  they that wear  soft  in  kings'  houses.  [9] But  what  went ye out  A prophet?  yea,  I say  and  than a prophet.  [10] this  he, of  whom  it is written,  Behold,  send  messenger  before  face,  which  shall prepare  way  before  [11] Verily  I say  Among  them that are born  of women  not  risen  John  the Baptist:  notwithstanding  he that is least  in  the kingdom  of heaven  he.  [12] And  from  the days  of John  the Baptist  until  now  the kingdom  of heaven  suffereth violence,  and  the violent  it  by force.  [13] For  all  the prophets  and  the law  prophesied  until  John.  [14] And  if  ye will  receive  it, this  Elias,  which  was for  to come.  [15] He that hath  ears  to hear,
