Matthew 11

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding His twelve disciples, He departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

2 Now when John had heard in prison of the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

3 and they said unto Him, "Art thou He that should come, or do we look for another?"

4 Jesus answered and said unto them, "Go and show John again those things which ye 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 to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

9 But what went ye out 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, who 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 Elijah, who was to come.

15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

16 "But to what 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 gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children."

20 Then He began 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 by 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 labor 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."

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 After Jesus finished giving his twelve disciples these instructions, he moved on from there to teach his message in their cities.

2 When John was in prison, he heard about the things Christ had done. So he sent his disciples

3 to ask Jesus, "Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?"

4 Jesus answered John's disciples, "Go back, and tell John what you hear and see:

5 Blind people see again, lame people are walking, those with skin diseases are made clean, deaf people hear again, dead people are brought back to life, and poor people hear the Good News.

6 Whoever doesn't lose his faith in me is indeed blessed."

7 As they were leaving, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John. "What did you go into the desert to see? Tall grass swaying in the wind?

8 Really, what did you go to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Those who wear fine clothes are in royal palaces.

9 "Really, what did you go to see? A prophet? Let me tell you that he is far more than a prophet.

10 John is the one about whom Scripture says, 'I'm sending my messenger ahead of you to prepare the way in front of you.'

11 "I can guarantee this truth: Of all the people ever born, no one is greater than John the Baptizer. Yet, the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John.

12 From the time of John the Baptizer until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful people have been seizing it.

13 All the Prophets and Moses' Teachings prophesied up to the time of John.

14 If you are willing to accept their message, John is the Elijah who was to come.

15 Let the person who has ears listen!

16 "How can I describe the people who are living now? They are like children who sit in the marketplaces and shout to other children,

17 'We played music for you, but you didn't dance. We sang a funeral song, but you didn't show any sadness.'

18 "John came neither eating nor drinking, and people say, 'There's a demon in him!'

19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and people say, 'Look at him! He's a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' "Yet, wisdom is proved right by its actions."

20 Then Jesus denounced the cities where he had worked most of his miracles because they had not changed the way they thought and acted.

21 "How horrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How horrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! If the miracles worked in you had been worked in Tyre and Sidon, they would have changed the way they thought and acted long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22 I can guarantee that judgment day will be better for Tyre and Sidon than for you.

23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to heaven? No, you will go down to hell! If the miracles that had been worked in you had been worked in Sodom, it would still be there today.

24 I can guarantee that judgment day will be better for Sodom than for you."

25 At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from wise and intelligent people and revealing them to little children.

26 Yes, Father, this is what pleased you.

27 "My Father has turned everything over to me. Only the Father knows the Son. And no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.

28 "Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.

29 Place my yoke over your shoulders, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for yourselves

30 because my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
