¹ And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. Cross refs

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

³ And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Cross refs

⁴ Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: Cross refs

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. Cross refs

⁶ And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. Cross refs

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? Cross refs

⁸ But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. Cross refs

⁹ But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. Cross refs

¹⁰ For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

¹² And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Cross refs

¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. Cross refs

¹⁴ And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. Cross refs

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

¹⁶ But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, Cross refs

¹⁷ And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. Cross refs

¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. Cross refs

¹⁹ 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. Cross refs

²⁰ Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: Cross refs

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. Cross refs

²² But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

²⁶ Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. Cross refs

²⁷ 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. Cross refs

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Cross refs
