Jesus svarar på Johannes döparens fråga
(Luk 7:18-35; 16:16)
11 När Jesus hade gett sina tolv lärjungar dessa föreskrifter, gick han vidare för att undervisa och förkunna i städerna i Galileen.
2 Johannes döparen, som satt i fängelse, fick höra om Kristus gärningar och skickade därför iväg några av sina lärjungar 3 för att fråga honom: ”Är du den som ska komma, eller ska vi vänta på någon annan?”
4 Jesus svarade dem: ”Gå tillbaka till Johannes och berätta för honom vad ni har hört och sett: 5 att blinda börjar se, förlamade går, spetälska blir rena, döva hör, döda uppstår, och de fattiga får höra evangeliet.[a] 6 Lycklig är den som inte kommer på fall för min skull.”
7 När Johannes lärjungar hade gått, började Jesus tala till folket om Johannes. Han sa: ”När ni gick ut i ödemarken, vad ville ni då se? Ett grässtrå som vajar för vinden? 8 Eller vad gick ni ut för att se? En man klädd i fina kläder? Nej, män som går omkring i dyrbara kläder finns i kungapalatsen. 9 Vad gick ni ut för att se? En profet? Ja, jag säger er: han är mer än en profet. 10 Han är den som det står skrivet om:
’Se! Jag ska sända min budbärare före dig,
och han ska bereda vägen för dig.’[b]
11 Sannerligen säger jag er: ingen av kvinna född har trätt fram som är större än Johannes döparen. Ändå är den minsta i himmelriket större än han.
12 Ända sedan Johannes döparens tid och fram tills nu har himmelriket trängt fram, och det finns de som vill få det att ske med våld[c]. 13 Lagen och profeterna har profeterat fram till Johannes. 14 Och vare sig ni tror det eller inte, så är han Elia[d] som skulle komma[e]. 15 Lyssna, hör, den som har öron!
16 Vad ska jag jämföra detta släkte med? De är som barn som leker på torget och ropar till de andra barnen:
17 ’Vi spelade flöjt för er,
men ni ville inte dansa.
Vi sjöng klagosång för er,
men ni ville inte sörja.’
18 Johannes döparen kom och går ofta utan mat och dricker inte vin, och då säger man: ’Han är besatt av en ond ande.’ 19 Men Människosonen har kommit och äter och dricker, och då säger folk: ’Se vilken frossare och drinkare, en vän till tullindrivare och syndare! Men vishetens gärningar ger ändå visheten rätt.[f]’ ”
Jesus anklagar galileiska städer
(Luk 10:13-15)
20 Sedan började Jesus anklaga människorna i de städer där han hade gjort de flesta av sina under, eftersom de inte hade omvänt sig. Han sa:
21 ”Ve dig, Korasin, och ve dig, Betsaida! För om de under som gjorts hos er hade gjorts i Tyros och Sidon[g], hade de för länge sedan omvänt sig i säck och aska. 22 Men jag säger er, att på domens dag ska både Tyros och Sidon få det lindrigare än ni. 23 Och du, Kafarnaum, du ska väl inte bli upphöjt till himlen? Nej, ner till dödsriket ska du störtas. För om de under som gjorts hos dig hade utförts i Sodom[h], skulle den staden ha funnits kvar än idag. 24 Jag kan försäkra er, att Sodom ska slippa lindrigare undan på domens dag än du!”
Jesus utlovar ro och vila
(Luk 10:21-22)
25 Vid den tiden sa Jesus: ”Jag prisar dig, Fader, du som är Herre över himlen och jorden, för att du har dolt detta för de lärda och kloka, men visat det för dem som är som barn. 26 Ja, Fader, så har du bestämt.
27 Min fader har överlämnat allt åt mig. Ingen känner Sonen, utom Fadern, och ingen känner Fadern, utom Sonen och de som Sonen vill uppenbara honom för. 28 Kom till mig alla ni som är trötta och bär tunga bördor, så ska jag ge er vila. 29 Gå in under mitt ok och lär av mig. Jag är mild och ödmjuk i hjärtat. Hos mig finner ni ro för era själar. 30 Mitt ok är behagligt och min börda är lätt.”

New International Version
Jesus and John the Baptist(A)
11 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples,(B) he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.[a]
2 When John,(C) who was in prison,(D) heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come,(E) 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[b] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(F) 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”(G)
7 As John’s(H) disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness(I) 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?(J) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever 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 subjected to violence,[d] and violent people have been raiding it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.(M) 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.(N) 15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.(O)
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 pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came neither eating(P) nor drinking,(Q) 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.’(R) But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
Woe on Unrepentant Towns(S)
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!(T) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,(U) they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.(V) 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.(W) 23 And you, Capernaum,(X) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[e](Y) For 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.”(Z)
The Father Revealed in the Son(AA)
25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father,(AB) Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.(AC) 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
27 “All things have been committed to me(AD) by my Father.(AE) 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.(AF)
28 “Come to me,(AG) all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.(AH) 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,(AI) for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.(AJ) 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”(AK)

11 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples 3 and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see: 5 the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have [a]good tidings preached to them. 6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
7 And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind? 8 But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft raiment are in kings’ houses. 9 [b]But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 10 This is he, of whom it is written,
[c]Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is [d]but little 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 men of violence take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if ye are willing to receive [e]it, this is Elijah, that is to come. 15 He that hath ears [f]to hear, let him hear. 16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, who call unto their fellows 17 and say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not [g]mourn. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon. 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of [h]publicans and sinners! And wisdom [i]is justified by her [j]works.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his [k]mighty works were done, because they repented not. 21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the [l]mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt [m]go down unto Hades: for if the [n]mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 At that season Jesus answered and said, I [o]thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: 26 yea, Father, [p]for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. 27 All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
