Chronological New Testament Study Day 12
Matthew 11 (New International
Version)
Matthew 11 (New
International Version)
1 After Jesus had finished instructing his
twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach
in the towns of Galilee. 2 When John heard
in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples 3to
ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we
expect someone else?" 4 Jesus replied,"Go back and
report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive
sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the
deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. 6 Blessed is the man who does not fall away on
account of me." 7 As John's disciples
were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: "What did
you go out into the desert to see? A reed swayed by the
wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in
fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings' palaces. 9 Then
what did you go out to see? A prophet?Yes, I tell you, and more
than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:
" 'I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will
prepare your way before you.' 11 I
tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone
greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is
greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until
now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay
hold of it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied
until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept
it, he is the Elijah who was to come. 15 He who
has ears, let him hear. 16 "To what can I
compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and
calling out to others: 17 " 'We played the flute for you,
and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.' 18 For
John came neither eating nor drinking, and
they say, 'He has a demon.' 19 The Son of Man came eating and
drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax
collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdom is proved
right by her actions."
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in
which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 "Woe
to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles
that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they
would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But
I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment
than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will
you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed
in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell
you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for
you."
25 At that time Jesus said, "I praise
you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have
hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little
children. 26 Yes, Father, for this was your
good pleasure. 27 "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except
the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the
Son chooses to reveal him. 28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest
for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my
burden is light."
