Matthew Chapter 11 Verse 20Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

‹For this is› [he], ‹of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.›

‹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.›

‹And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.›

‹For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.›

‹And if ye will receive› [it], ‹this is Elias, which was for to come.›

‹He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.›

‹But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,›

‹And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.›

‹For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.›

‹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.›

‹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.›

‹But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.›

‹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.›

‹But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.›

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.›

‹Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.›

‹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].

‹Come unto me, all› [ye] ‹that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.›

‹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.›

‹For my yoke› [is] ‹easy, and my burden is light.›
