Come unto me all ye that labor, and are laden, and I will ease you.

At that time, Jesus answered and said, "I praise thee, O father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast opened them unto babes,

Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek, and lowly of heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

From the time of John Baptist, hitherto, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence,

All things are given unto me of my father: And no man knoweth the son, but the father; neither knoweth any man the father, save the son, and he to whom the son will open him.

and they that go to it with violence pluck it unto them. For all the prophets and the law prophesied unto the time of John.

And also if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which should come.

He that hath ears to hear withal, let him hear.

and say, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; We have mourned unto you, and ye have not sorrowed.

"Woe be to thee, Chorazsin! Woe be to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles, which were showed in you, had been done in Tyre and in Sidon: they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say, he hath the devil.

Even so, father: for so it pleased thee.

Nevertheless I say to you, it shall be easier for Tyre and Sidon, at the day of judgment, than for you.

Nevertheless, I say unto you, It shall be easier for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee."

When John, being in prison, heard the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said unto him,

For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee.'

The blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are risen again, and the glad tidings is preached to the poor.

Verily I say unto you, Among the children of women arose there not a greater than John the Baptist: Notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.

And as they departed, Jesus began to speak unto the people, of John, "What for to see went ye out into the wilderness? Went ye to see a reed shaken in the wind?

Then began he to upbraid the cities, in which most of his miracles were done, because they repented not:

"Art thou he that shall come? or, shall we look for another?"

The son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a glutton, and drinker of wine, and a friend unto publicans, and sinners. And neverthelater, wisdom is justified of her children."

And blessed is he that is not offended by me."

Jesus answered and said unto them, "Go and show John what ye have heard and seen:

"But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children, which sit in the market, and call unto their fellows,

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, that he departed thence, to teach and preach in their cities.

But what went ye out for to see? Went ye out to see a prophet? Yea I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Other, what went ye out for to see? Went ye to see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

And thou, Capernaum, which art lift up unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the miracles, which have been done in thee, had been showed in Sodom, they had remained to this day.
