Matthew 11 : 1 (HCSB)
When Jesus had finished giving orders to His 12 disciples, He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.
Matthew 11 : 2 (HCSB)
When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent *a message by his disciples
Matthew 11 : 3 (HCSB)
and asked Him, "Are You the One who is to come, or should we expect someone else?"
Matthew 11 : 4 (HCSB)
Jesus replied to them, "Go and report to John what you hear and see:
Matthew 11 : 5 (HCSB)
the blind see, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.
Matthew 11 : 6 (HCSB)
And if anyone is not offended because of Me, he is blessed."
Matthew 11 : 7 (HCSB)
As these men went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
Matthew 11 : 8 (HCSB)
What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? Look, those who wear soft clothes are in kings' palaces.
Matthew 11 : 9 (HCSB)
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
Matthew 11 : 10 (HCSB)
This is the one it is written about: Look, I am sending My messenger ahead of You; he will prepare Your way before You.
Matthew 11 : 11 (HCSB)
"I assure you: Among those born of women no one greater than John the Baptist has appeared, but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Matthew 11 : 12 (HCSB)
From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been suffering violence, and the violent have been seizing it by force.
Matthew 11 : 13 (HCSB)
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John;
Matthew 11 : 14 (HCSB)
if you're willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who is to come.
Matthew 11 : 15 (HCSB)
Anyone who has ears should listen!
Matthew 11 : 16 (HCSB)
"To what should I compare this generation? It's like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to each other:
Matthew 11 : 17 (HCSB)
We played the flute for you, but you didn't dance; we sang a lament, but you didn't mourn!
Matthew 11 : 18 (HCSB)
For John did not come eating or drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon!'
Matthew 11 : 19 (HCSB)
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."
Matthew 11 : 20 (HCSB)
Then He proceeded to denounce the towns where most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent:
Matthew 11 : 21 (HCSB)
"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes long ago!
Matthew 11 : 22 (HCSB)
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Matthew 11 : 23 (HCSB)
And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until today.
Matthew 11 : 24 (HCSB)
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."
Matthew 11 : 25 (HCSB)
At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to infants.
Matthew 11 : 26 (HCSB)
Yes, Father, because this was Your good pleasure.
Matthew 11 : 27 (HCSB)
All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son desires to reveal Him.
Matthew 11 : 28 (HCSB)
"Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11 : 29 (HCSB)
All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves.
Matthew 11 : 30 (HCSB)
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
