Matthew 11 (WEBP)

[1] When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
[2] Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
[3] and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
[4] Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
[5] the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
[6] Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
[7] As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
[8] But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
[9] But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
[10] For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
[11] Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
[12] From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
[13] For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
[14] If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
[15] He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
[16] “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
[17] and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
[18] For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
[19] The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
[20] Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
[21] “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
[22] But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
[23] You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today.
[24] But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
[25] At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
[26] Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
[27] All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
[28] “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
[29] Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
[30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11 (KJVS)

[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 () two of his disciples,
[3] and said () unto him, Art () thou he that should come, () or do we look () for another?
[4] Jesus answered () and said () unto them, Go () and shew 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 is () he, whosoever shall not be offended () in me.
[7] And 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?
[8] But what went ye out () for to see? () A man clothed () in soft raiment? behold, () they that wear () soft clothing are () in kings’ houses.
[9] But what went ye out () for to see? () A prophet? yea, I say () unto you, and more than a prophet.
[10] For this is () he, of whom it is written, () Behold, () I send () my messenger before thy face, Which shall prepare () thy way before thee.
[11] Verily 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.
[12] And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, () and the violent take it by force. ()
[13] For all the prophets and the law prophesied () until John.
[14] And if ye will () receive () it, this is () Elias, which was for () to come. ()
[15] He that hath () ears to hear, () let him hear. ()
[16] But whereunto shall I liken () this generation? It is () like unto children sitting () in the markets, and calling () unto their fellows,
[17] and saying, () We have piped () unto you, and ye have not danced; () we have mourned () unto you, and ye have 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 children.
[20] Then began he () to upbraid () the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, () because they repented () not:
[21] Woe 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.
[22] But I say () unto you, It shall be () more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
[23] And 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.
[24] But I say () unto you, That it shall be () more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
[25] At 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.
[26] Even so, Father: for so it seemed () good in thy sight.
[27] All 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.
[28] Come () unto me, all ye that labour () and are heavy laden, () and I will give you rest. ()
[29] Take () my yoke upon you, and learn () of me; for I am () meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find () rest unto your souls.
[30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is () light.

Matthew 11:12 Or, is gotten by force, and they that thrust men
