1And it came about that when Yeshua(Jesus) finished instructing His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and proclaim in their cities.
2Now when John in prison heard the works of Messiah(Christ), having sent word through two of his disciples,
3he said to Him: "Are You the Coming One, or shall we look for another?"
4And Yeshua(Jesus) answered and said to them: "Go and report to John what you hear and see:
5the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news proclaimed to them.
6And blessed is the one who does not skandalizo(stumble) over Me."
7And as these were going away, Yeshua(Jesus) began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' palaces.
9But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one greater than a prophet.
10This is the one about whom it is written: 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.'
11Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist — yet the one who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens has been advancing forcefully, and the violent are seizing it.
13For all the prophets and the nomos(law) prophesied until John.
14And if you are willing to accept it, he himself is Elijah who was to come.
15The one who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to their companions
17and say: 'We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a dirge and you did not mourn.'
18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say: 'He has a demon(individual evil spirit to be expelled).'
19The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say: 'Behold, a man who is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners' — yet sophia(wisdom) is justified by her children."
20Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His dynamis(miracles, power) were done, because they did not metanoeo(repent, spiritual domain).
21"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the dynamis(miracles, power) that occurred in you had occurred in Tyre and Sidon, they would have metanoeo(repented, spiritual domain) long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of krisis(judgment) than for you.
23And you, Capernaum — you who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades! For if the dynamis(miracles, power) that occurred in you had occurred in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
24But I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of krisis(judgment) than for you."
25At that kairos(appointed-time) Yeshua(Jesus) answered and said: "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to infants.
26Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing before You.
27All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone fully know the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
28Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in kardia(heart, soul-domain), and you will find rest for your psyche(souls).
30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
