Matej 11:2-19
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
2 Kad je Ivan Krstitelj, koji je bio u zatvoru, čuo za Kristova djela, poslao je Isusu svoje učenike. 3 Oni su ga upitali: »Jesi li ti onaj koji treba doći ili da očekujemo drugog?«
4 Isus im je odgovorio: »Idite i recite Ivanu o onome što čujete i vidite! 5 Slijepi vide, hromi hodaju, gubavi ozdravljaju, gluhi čuju, mrtvi ustaju, a siromašnima se propovijeda Radosna vijest. 6 Blago onomu tko ne oklijeva da me prihvati!«
7 Dok su Ivanovi učenici odlazili, Isus je govorio mnoštvu o Ivanu, pitajući ih: »Što ste išli vidjeti u pustinji? Trsku koju povija vjetar? 8 Ako ne to, što ste onda išli vidjeti? Čovjeka odjevenog u raskošnu odjeću? Oni koji nose raskošnu odjeću nalaze se u kraljevskim dvorima. 9 Što ste onda išli vidjeti? Proroka? Da, kažem vam, i više od proroka. 10 On je onaj o kojem je pisano:
‘Evo, šaljem svoga glasnika ispred tebe.
On će pred tobom pripremiti put.’[a]
11 Istinu vam kažem: od svih ljudi koji su ikad rođeni, nitko nije veći od Ivana Krstitelja, a ipak je i najmanji u Kraljevstvu nebeskom veći od Ivana. 12 Od vremena Ivana Krstitelja pa do sada navala je na Kraljevstvo nebesko i siloviti ga prisvajaju.[b] 13 Svi su proroci i Mojsijev zakon proricali do Ivana. 14 Ako prihvaćate što su rekli proroci i Zakon, onda je Ivan Ilija koji treba doći. 15 Tko sluša, neka čuje!
16 S kim da usporedim sadašnji naraštaj? Oni su poput djece koja sjede na trgovima i dovikuju se:
17 ‘Svirali smo vam, ali vi niste zaplesali!
Pjevali smo tužaljke, ali vi niste zaplakali.’
18 Došao je Ivan, niti je jeo niti je pio poput ostalih ljudi, pa kažu: ‘Opsjednut je zlim duhom!’ 19 Onda je došao Sin Čovječji, koji jede i pije poput svih ostalih, a ljudi kažu: ‘Vidi ovoga! Proždrljivac i pijanac! Prijatelj poreznika i grešnika!’ No mudrost se dokazuje djelima koja čini.«

Matthew 11:2-19
King James Version
2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than 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.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
