Bible. Matthew
40:011:005 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.
40:011:006 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
40:011:007 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?
40:011:008 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings'
houses.
40:011:009 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto
you, and more than a prophet.
40:011:010 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee.
40:011:011 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.
40:011:012 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
40:011:013 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
40:011:014 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to
come.
40:011:015 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
40:011:016 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto
children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their
fellows,
40:011:017 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we
have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
40:011:018 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He
hath a devil.
40:011:019 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.
40:011:020 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty
works were done, because they repented not:
40:011:021 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.
40:011:022 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
40:011:023 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.
40:011:024 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the
land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
