{Mat 11:2-30 & Luk 7:18-35 Galilee.}
11:2 Now after John heard the works of the Christ while in the prison, he sent two of his disciples 11:3 and said to him, Are you the one coming, or should we expect another one?
11:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, After traveling back, report° to John what you° hear and see: 11:5 the blind recover their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised and the poor are proclaimed the good-news. 11:6 And whoever is not offended at me is fortunate.
11:7 Now while these disciples are traveling on, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What did you° go forth into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 11:8 But what did you° go forth to see? A man who has been dressed-up in soft garments? Behold, the ones wearing soft garments are in the royal houses. 11:9 But why did you° go forth? To see a prophet? I am saying to you°, Yes, and one who is more-than a prophet. 11:10 For* this is he, concerning whom it has been written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will be preparing your way before you.’ {Mal 3:1} 11:11 Assuredly I am saying to you°, A greater man has not been raised up among those born of women than John the Immerser*. But he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. 11:12 But from the days of John the Immerser* until now the kingdom of the heavens suffers-violently and the violent ones seize it. 11:13 For* all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 11:14 And if you° are willing to accept it, he himself is Elijah, who is the one about to come. 11:15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
11:16 But to what will be similar to this generation? It is similar to children sitting in the marketplaces and summoning their comrades 11:17 and saying, We piped to you° and you° did not dance. We mourned for you° and yet you° did not grieve for yourselves. 11:18 For* John came neither eating nor drinking and they say, He has a demon. 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they say, Behold, a man who is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom was made righteous from her children.
11:20 Then he began to reproach the cities in which most of his miracles happened, because they did not repent. 11:21 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if the miracles which happened in Tyre and Sidon, the ones which happened in you°, they would have repented long-ago in sackcloth and ashes. 11:22 However I say to you°, It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you°. 11:23 And you, Capernaum, the one which was exalted to the heaven, you will be descending as-far-as Hades, because if the miracles which happened in Sodom, the ones that happened in you, they would have remained till this day. 11:24 However I say to you°, It will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
11:25 Jesus answered and said at that time, I profess you, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants. 11:26 Yes, Father, because thus it became a delight before you. 11:27 All things were given to me by my Father and no one fully knows the Son, except the Father; nor does anyone fully know the Father, except the Son and he to whomever the Son wills to reveal him. 11:28 Come-here° to me, all the ones laboring and have been loaded down, and I will be giving-rest to you°. 11:29 Take° my yoke upon you° and learn° from me, because I am meek and humble in heart and you° will be finding rest for your° souls. 11:30 For* my yoke is easy and my load is light.
