[1]AndG2532 it came to passG1096[G5633], whenG3753 JesusG2424 had made an endG5055[G5656] of commandingG1299[G5723] hisG846 twelveG1427 disciplesG3101, he departedG3327[G5627] thenceG1564 to teachG1321[G5721] andG2532 to preachG2784[G5721] inG1722 theirG846 citiesG4172.
[2]NowG1161 when JohnG2491 had heardG191[G5660] inG1722 the prisonG1201 the worksG2041 of ChristG5547, he sentG3992[G5660] twoG1417 of hisG846 disciplesG3101,
[3]And saidG2036[G5627] unto himG846, ArtG1488[G5748] thouG4771 he that should comeG2064[G5740], orG2228 do we lookG4328[G5719] for anotherG2087?
[4]JesusG2424 answeredG611[G5679] andG2532 saidG2036[G5627] unto themG846, GoG4198[G5679] and shewG518 JohnG2491 againG518[G5657] those things whichG3739 ye do hearG191[G5719] andG2532 seeG991:[G5719]
[5]The blindG5185 receive their sightG308[G5719], andG2532 the lameG5560 walkG4043[G5719], the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511[G5743], andG2532 the deafG2974 hearG191[G5719], the deadG3498 are raised upG1453[G5743], andG2532 the poorG4434 have the gospel preached to themG2097.[G5743]
[6]AndG2532 blessedG3107 isG2076[G5748] he, whosoeverG3739 shallG4624 notG3362 be offendedG4624[G5686] inG1722 meG1698.
[7]AndG1161 asG5130 they departedG4198[G5740], JesusG2424 beganG756[G5662] to sayG3004[G5721] unto the multitudesG3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, WhatG5101 went yeG1831[G5627] out intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300[G5664]? A reedG2563 shakenG4531[G5746] withG5259 the windG417?
[8]ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831[G5627] for to seeG1492[G5629]? A manG444 clothedG294[G5772] inG1722 softG3120 raimentG2440? beholdG2400[G5628], they that wearG5409[G5723] softG3120 clothing areG1526[G5748] inG1722 kings'G935 housesG3624.
[9]ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831[G5627] for to seeG1492[G5629]? A prophetG4396? yeaG3483, I sayG3004[G5719] unto youG5213, andG2532 moreG4055 than a prophetG4396.
[10]ForG1063 thisG3778 isG2076[G5748] he, ofG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125[G5769], BeholdG2400[G5628], IG1473 sendG649[G5719] myG3450 messengerG32 beforeG4253 thyG4675 faceG4383, whichG3739 shall prepareG2680[G5692] thyG4675 wayG3598 beforeG1715 theeG4675.
[11]VerilyG281 I sayG3004[G5719] unto youG5213, AmongG1722 them that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there hathG1453 notG3756 risenG1453[G5769] a greater thanG3187 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: notwithstandingG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076[G5748] greater thanG3187 heG846.
[12]AndG1161 fromG575 the daysG2250 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 untilG2193 nowG737 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 suffereth violenceG971[G5743], andG2532 the violentG973 takeG726 itG846 by forceG726.[G5719]
[13]ForG1063 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 andG2532 the lawG3551 prophesiedG4395[G5656] untilG2193 JohnG2491.
[14]AndG2532 ifG1487 ye willG2309[G5719] receiveG1209[G5664] it, thisG846 isG2076[G5748] EliasG2243, whichG3588 was forG3195[G5723] to comeG2064.[G5738]
[15]He that hathG2192[G5723] earsG3775 to hearG191[G5721], let him hearG191.[G5720]
[16]ButG1161 whereuntoG5101 shall I likenG3666[G5692] thisG5026 generationG1074? It isG2076[G5748] likeG3664 unto childrenG3808 sittingG2521[G5740] inG1722 the marketsG58, andG2532 callingG4377[G5723] unto theirG846 fellowsG2083,
[17]AndG2532 sayingG3004[G5723], We have pipedG832[G5656] unto youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG3738 notG3756 dancedG3738[G5662]; we have mournedG2354[G5656] unto youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG2875 notG3756 lamentedG2875.[G5668]
[18]ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064[G5627] neitherG3383 eatingG2068[G5723] norG3383 drinkingG4095[G5723], andG2532 they sayG3004[G5719], He hathG2192[G5719] a devilG1140.
[19]The SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064[G5627] eatingG2068[G5723] andG2532 drinkingG4095[G5723], andG2532 they sayG3004[G5719], BeholdG2400[G5628] a manG444 gluttonousG5314, andG2532 a winebibberG3630, a friendG5384 of publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268. ButG2532 wisdomG4678 is justifiedG1344[G5681] ofG575 herG846 childrenG5043.
[20]ThenG5119 began heG756[G5662] to upbraidG3679[G5721] the citiesG4172 whereinG1722[G3739] mostG4118 of hisG846 mighty worksG1411 were doneG1096[G5633], becauseG3754 they repentedG3340[G5656] notG3756:
[21]WoeG3759 unto theeG4671, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 unto theeG4671, BethsaidaG966! forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411, whichG3588 were doneG1096[G5637] inG1722 youG5213, had been doneG1096[G5633] inG1722 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, they would have repentedG3340[G5656] long agoG302[G3819] inG1722 sackclothG4526 andG2532 ashesG4700.
[22]ButG4133 I sayG3004[G5719] unto youG5213, It shall beG2071[G5704] more tolerableG414 for TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605 atG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for youG5213.
[23]AndG2532 thouG4771, CapernaumG2584, whichG3588 art exaltedG5312[G5685] untoG2193 heavenG3772, shalt be brought downG2601[G5701] toG2193 hellG86: forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411, whichG3588 have been doneG1096[G5637] inG1722 theeG4671, had been doneG1096[G5633] inG1722 SodomG4670, it would have remainedG302[G3306][G5656] untilG3360 this dayG4594.
[24]ButG4133 I sayG3004[G5719] unto youG5213, ThatG3754 it shall beG2071[G5704] more tolerableG414 for the landG1093 of SodomG4670 inG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for theeG4671.
[25]AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 JesusG2424 answeredG611[G5679] and saidG2036[G5627], I thankG1843[G5731] theeG4671, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, becauseG3754 thou hast hidG613[G5656] these thingsG5023 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601[G5656] themG846 unto babesG3516.
[26]Even soG3483, FatherG3962: forG3754 soG3779 it seemedG1096[G5633] goodG2107 in thyG4675 sightG1715.
[27]All thingsG3956 are deliveredG3860[G5681] unto meG3427 ofG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962: andG2532 no manG3762 knowethG1921[G5719] the SonG5207, butG1508 the FatherG3962; neitherG3761 knowethG1921[G5719] any manG5100 the FatherG3962, saveG1508 the SonG5207, and heG2532 toG3739 whomsoeverG1437 the SonG5207 willG1014[G5741] revealG601 himG5658.
[28]ComeG1205[G5773] untoG4314 meG3165, allG3956 ye that labourG2872[G5723] andG2532 are heavy ladenG5412[G5772], and IG2504 will giveG373 youG5209 restG373.[G5692]
[29]TakeG142[G5657] myG3450 yokeG2218 uponG1909 youG5209, andG2532 learnG3129[G5628] ofG575 meG1700; forG3754 I amG1510[G5748] meekG4235 andG2532 lowlyG5011 in heartG2588: andG2532 ye shall findG2147[G5692] restG372 unto yourG5216 soulsG5590.
[30]ForG1063 myG3450 yokeG2218 is easyG5543, andG2532 myG3450 burdenG5413 isG2076[G5748] lightG1645.
