Jesus' Tribute to John

7

As theseg3778 men were goingg4198 away, Jesusg2424 begang757 to speakg3004 to the crowdsg3793 aboutg4012 Johng2491, "Whatg5101 did you gog1831 out into  athe wildernessg2048 to seeg2300? A reedg2563 shakeng4531 by the windg417?

8

1But whatg5101 did you gog1831 out to seeg3708? A mang444 dressedg294 in softg3120 clothing? Thoseg3588 who wearg5409 softg3120 clothing are in kings'g935  2palacesg3624!

9

1But whatg5101 did you gog1831 out to seeg3708?  aA prophetg4396? Yesg3483a, I tellg3004 you, and one who is moreg4053 than a prophetg4396.

10

"Thisg3778 is the one aboutg4012 whomg3739 it  1is writteng1125, aBEHOLDg2400, I SENDg649 MY MESSENGERg32a  2AHEAD OF YOU, WHOg3739 WILL PREPAREg2680 YOUR WAYg3598 BEFOREg1715 YOU.'

11

"Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you, amongg1722 those borng1084 of womeng1135 there has not ariseng1453 anyone greaterg3173 than Johng2491 the Baptistg910! Yetg1161 the oneg3739 who is  1leastg3398 in the kingdomg932 of heaveng3772 is greaterg3173 than he.

12

aFrom the daysg2250 of Johng2491 the Baptistg910 untilg2193 nowg737 the kingdomg932 of heaveng3772  1suffersg971 violenceg971, and violentg973 meng973  2takeg726 it by forceg726.

13

"For allg3956 the prophetsg4396 and the Lawg3551 prophesiedg4395 untilg2193 Johng2491.

14

"And ifg1487 you are willingg2309 to acceptg1209 it, John himselfg846 is  aElijahg2243 who  1was to comeg2064.

15

aHe who hasg2192 earsg3775 to hearg191,  1let him hearg191.

16

"But to whatg5101 shall I compareg3666 thisg3778 generationg1074? It is likeg3664 childreng3813 sittingg2521 in the marketg58 placesg58, whog3739 callg4377 out to the otherg2087 children,

17

and sayg3004, `We playedg832 the fluteg832 for you, and you did not danceg3738; we sangg2354 a dirgeg2354, and you did not  1mourng2875.'

18

"For Johng2491 cameg2064 neitherg3383  aeatingg2068 norg3383  bdrinkingg4095, and they sayg3004, ` cHe hasg2192 a demong1140!'

19

"The Song5207 of Mang444 cameg2064 eatingg2068 and drinkingg4095, and they sayg3004, `Beholdg2400, a gluttonousg5314 mang444 and a  1drunkardg3630,  aa friendg5384 of taxg5057 collectorsg5057 and  2sinnersg268!' Yetg2532 wisdomg4678 is vindicatedg1344 by her deedsg2041."

The Unrepenting Cities

20

Theng5119 He begang757 to denounceg3679 the citiesg4172 in whichg3739 mostg4183 of His  1 amiraclesg1411 were doneg1096, becauseg3754 they did not repentg3340.

21

aWoeg3759 to you, Chorazing5523! Woeg3759 to you,  bBethsaidag966! For ifg1487 the  1miraclesg1411 had occurredg1096 in  cTyreg5184 and  cSidong4605 which occurredg1096 in you, they would have repentedg3340 longg3819 agog3819 in  2 dsackclothg4526 and ashesg4700.

22

"Neverthelessg4133 I sayg3004 to you,  ait will be moreg414 tolerableg414 for Tyreg5184 and Sidong4605 in  bthe dayg2250 of judgmentg2920 thang2228 for you.

23

"And you,  aCapernaumg2746b, will not be exaltedg5312 to heaveng3772, will you? You will  bdescendg2597 to  cHadesg86; for ifg1487 the  1miraclesg1411 had occurredg1096 in  dSodomg4670 which occurredg1096 in you, it would have remainedg3306 to thisg4594 dayg4594.

24

"Neverthelessg4133 I sayg3004 to you that  ait will be moreg414 tolerableg414 for the landg1093 of  bSodomg4670 in the dayg2250 of judgmentg2920, thang2228 for you."

Come to Me

25

 aAt that  1timeg2540 Jesusg2424 saidg3004, "I praiseg1843 You,  bFatherg3962, Lordg2962 of heaveng3772 and earthg1093, that  cYou have hiddeng2928 theseg3778 thingsg3778 from the wiseg4680 and intelligentg4908 and have revealedg601 them to infantsg3516.

26

"Yesg3483a,  aFatherg3962, for thisg3779 wayg3779 was well-pleasingg2107 in Your sightg1715.

27

aAllg3956 thingsg3956 have been handedg3860 overg3860 to Me by My Fatherg3962; and nog3762 oneg3762 knowsg1921 the Song5207 exceptg1508 the Fatherg3962; norg3761 does anyoneg5100 knowg1921 the Fatherg3962  bexceptg1508 the Song5207, and anyone to whomg3739 the Song5207 willsg1014 to revealg601 Him.

28

aComeg1205 to Me, allg3956  1who are wearyg2872 and heavy-ladeng5412, and I will giveg373 you restg373.

29

"Takeg142 My yokeg2218 upon you and  alearng3129 from Me, for I amg1510 gentleg4239b and humbleg5011 in heartg2588, and  bYOU WILL FINDg2147 RESTg372 FOR YOUR SOULSg5590.

30

"For  aMy yokeg2218 is  1easyg5543 and My burdeng5413 is lightg1645."
