Matthew 11

1 And when Jesus had made an end of giving orders to his twelve disciples, He departed from thence to teach and preach in their cities. 2 Now when John heard in prison of the works of Christ, 3 he sent two of his disciples to ask Him, Art thou He who was to come, or are we to expect another? 4 And Jesus said to them in answer, which ye hear and see:} 5 and the poor have the gospel preached } 6 who shall not be offended in me.} 7 And as they departed, Jesus took occasion to say to the people concerning John, 8 are in the palaces of kings.} 9 go out to see? a prophet? Yes, verily, and superior to a prophet.} 10 of whom it is written, “Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”} 11 I assure you that in the human race there hath not risen a greater than John the baptist: though the lest in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he:} 12 forced into, and the pressing seize upon it with eagerness.} 13 prophesy, till John } 14 This is Elias who was to come.} 16 are like children sitting in market-places,} 18 and they say, He is beside himself:} 19 and they call Him a gluttonous man, and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.} 20 Then began He to upbraid the cities, in which most of his miracles were wrought; because they did not repent. 23 wrought in thee, had been wrought in Sodom, it would have remained unto this day.} 25 upon this occasion Jesus opened his mouth and said, from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to babes:} 26 so } 27 are delivered to me by my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, but the Father; nor does any know the Father, but the Son, and to whom the Son is pleased to reveal } 28 all ye who are labouring and oppressed, and I will give you ease.} 29 my yoke upon you, and learn of me, (for I am meek and lowly in heart,) and ye shall find refreshment to your souls:}
