And it came to pass when finished Jesus commanding the twelve disciples of Him, He departed from there to teach and to preach in the cities of them.

said to Him, You are the coming [One], or another are we to look for?

And answering, Jesus said to them, Having gone, do relate to John what you hear and see:

Blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, and dead are raised, and poor are gospelized.

And blessed is he who maybe not shall fall away in Me.

As these now were going away, began Jesus to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed by [the] wind shaken?

But what did you go out to see? A man in delicate [clothing] dressed? Behold, those delicate [clothing] wearing, in the houses of kings are.

But what did you go out, to see? a prophet Yes, I say to you, and [one] more excellent than a prophet.

For this is [he] concerning whom it has been written: Behold, I send the messenger of Me before [the] face of You, who will prepare the way of You before You.’

Amen I say to you, not has been raised among [those] born of women one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of the heavens, greater than he is.

From then the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent claim it.

All for the prophets and the law until John prophesied.

And if you are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah, who is being about to come.

The [one] having ears, he should hear

To what however will I compare generation this? Like it is children sitting in the markets, who calling out to others,

saying: We piped for you, and not you did dance; we sang a dirge and not you did wail.

Came for John neither eating nor drinking, and they say, A demon he has!

Came the Son of Man eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man, a glutton and a drunkard, of tax collectors a friend and of sinners! But is justified wisdom by the deeds of her.

Then He began to denounce the cities in which had taken place the most miracles of Him, because not they repented.

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon had taken place the miracles which having come to pass in you, long ago then would in sackcloth and ashes they would have repented.

But I say to you, for Tyre and Sidon more tolerable will it be in [the] day of judgment than for you.

And you, Capernaum, surely not to heaven will be exalted, to Hades will go down! For if in Sodom happened the miracles that were happening in you, it remained then would until the day.

But I say to you, that for [the] land of Sodom more tolerable will it be in day of judgment than for you.

At that [very] time answering, Jesus said, I fully consent to You, Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, that You did hide these things from wise and learned, and did reveal them to little children.

Yes, O Father, for thus well-pleasing it was before You.
