| 1 | And it came to pass that when Yahshua had finished appointing His twelve students, He passed over from there for which to teach and to proclaim in their cities. |
| 2 | Then Iohannes, hearing in the prison the works of Christ, sending through his students |
| 3 | said to Him: "Are You He who is coming, or do we expect another?" |
| 4 | And responding Yahshua said to them: "Going report to Iohannes the things which you hear and see: |
| 5 | 'the blind see again and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf-mutes hear, and the dead are raised and the poor have the good message announced'. |
| 6 | And blessed is he who would not be offended by Me!" |
| 7 | And upon their going Yahshua began to speak to the crowds concerning Iohannes: "What have you come out into the desert to see? A reed being shaken by the wind? |
| 8 | Rather, what have you come out to see? A man clothed in soft things? Behold, those wearing soft things are in the houses of the kings! |
| 9 | Rather, what have you come out to see? A prophet? Yeah, I say to you, and more extraordinary than a prophet! |
| 10 | This is he concerning whom it is written: 'Behold, I shall send My messenger before Your face, who shall prepare Your way before You!' " |
| 11 | Truly I say to you, there has not arisen among those born of women a greater than Iohannes the Baptist, but he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he! |
| 12 | And from the days of Iohannes the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and the violent ones plunder it! |
| 13 | For all the prophets and the law have prophesied until Iohannes, |
| 14 | and if you wish to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come. |
| 15 | He having an ear to hear must hear! " |
| 16 | But to what shall I compare this race? It is like children sitting in the markets calling out to others things which |
| 17 | say 'We piped for you and you did not dance. We sang dirges and you did not mourn!' |
| 18 | For Iohannes had come neither eating nor drinking, and they say: 'He has a demon!' |
| 19 | The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and they say: 'Behold, the man is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and wrongdoers!' And Wisdom is justified by her works!" |
| 20 | Then He began to upbraid the cities in which the greatest number of His works of power were done, because they did not repent: |
| 21 | "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if there happened in Turos and Sidon the feats which took place among you, long ago they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes! |
| 22 | But I say to you, in Turos and Sidon it shall be better in the day of judgment than for you! |
| 23 | And you, Kapharnaoum, shall you be exalted unto heaven? Unto Hades shall you descend! Because if in Sodom there had taken place the feats which took place in you, it would have abided until today. |
| 24 | But I say to you that for the land of Sodom it shall be better in the day of judgment than for you!" |
| 25 | At that time Yahshua responding said: "I gratefully acknowledge to You, Father, Sovereign of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and have revealed them to babes! |
| 26 | Yeah, Father, because thusly was it pleasing before You. |
| 27 | All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son if not the Father, nor does anyone know the Father if not the Son, and to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him. " |
| 28 | Come to Me, all those who are toiling and being burdened, and I shall give you rest. |
| 29 | Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls. |
| 30 | For My yoke is kind and My burden is light!" |
