CHAP. XI.
2 Iohn sendeth his disciples to Christ. 7 Christs testimonie concerning Iohn. 18 The opinion of the people, both concerning Iohn, and Christ. 20 Christ vpbraideth the vnthankfulnesse, and vnrepentance of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum: 25 and praising his fathers wisedome in reueiling the Gospel to the simple, 28 hee calleth to him all such as feele the burden of their sinnes.
2 Now when Iohn had heard in the prison the workes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,2
3 And said vnto him, Art thou hee that should come? Or doe wee looke for another?
4 Iesus answered and saide vnto them, Go and shew Iohn againe those things which we doe heare and see:
5 The blind receiue their sight, and the lame walke, the lepers are cleansed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore haue the Gospel preached to them.5
6 And blessed is he, whoseouer shal not be offended in me.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A Prophet? yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet.
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.10
12 And from the dayes of Iohn the Baptist, vntill now, the kingdome of heauen suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.12
13 For all the Prophets, and the Law prophecied vntill Iohn.
14 And if ye wil receiue it, this is Elias which was for to come.14
15 Hee that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
16 ¶ But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like vnto children, sitting in the markets, and calling vnto their fellowes,16
18 For Iohn came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, he hath a deuill.
20 ¶ Then began he to vpbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not.20
25 ¶ At that time Iesus answered, and said, I thanke thee, O Father, Lord of heauen and earth, because thou hast hid these things frō the wise & prudent, & hast reueiled them vnto babes.25
26 Euen so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are deliuered vnto me of my father: and no man knoweth the sonne but the father: neither knoweth any man the father, saue the sonne, and hee to whomsoeuer the sonne will reueile him.27
28 ¶ Come vnto me all yee that labour, and are heauy laden, and I will giue you rest.
29 Take my yoke vpon you, and learne of me, for I am meeke and lowly in heart: and yee shall find rest vnto your soules.29
30 For my yoke is easie, and my burden is light.30
