Matthew 11:7-30

Matthew 11:7-30

[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,  [16] But  whereunto  shall I liken  generation?  like  sitting  in  the markets,  calling  [17] And  saying,  We have piped  and  not  danced;  we have mourned  and  not  lamented.  [18] For  John  came  neither  eating  nor  drinking,  and  they say,  He hath  a devil.  [19] The 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  [20] Then  began he  to upbraid  the cities  wherein  most  of his  mighty works  were done,  because  they repented  not:  [21] Woe  Chorazin!  woe  Bethsaida!  for  if  the mighty works,  which  were done  in  had been done  in  Tyre  and  Sidon,  they would have repented  long ago  in  sackcloth  and  ashes.  [22] But  I say  more tolerable  for Tyre  and  Sidon  at  the day  of judgment,  than  [23] And  thou,  Capernaum,  which  art exalted  unto  heaven,  to  hell:  for  if  the mighty works,  which  have been done  in  had been done  in  Sodom,  it would have remained  until  this day.  [24] But  I say  That  more tolerable  for the land  of Sodom  in  the day  of judgment,  than  [25] At  that  time  Jesus  answered  and said,  I thank  O Father,  Lord  of heaven  and  earth,  because  from  the wise  and  prudent,  and  hast revealed  them  unto babes.  [26] Even so,  Father:  for  so  it seemed  good  sight.  [27] All things  are delivered  of  Father:  and  no man  knoweth  the Son,  the Father;  neither  knoweth  any man  the Father,  the Son,  and he  to  whomsoever  the Son  will  reveal  [28] Come  unto  all  ye that labour  and  are heavy laden,  and I  rest.  [29] Take  yoke  upon  and  learn  of  for  I am  and  lowly  in heart:  and  ye shall find  rest  souls.  [30] For  yoke  is easy,  and  burden  light.
