Matthew 11
J.B. Phillips New Testament
11 When Jesus had finished giving his twelve disciples these instructions he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns in which they lived.
John enquires about Christ: Christ speaks about John
2-3 John the Baptist was in prison when he heard what Christ was doing, and he sent a message through his own disciples asking the question, “Are you the one who was to come or are we to look for somebody else?”
4-6 Jesus gave them this reply, “Go and tell John what you see and her—that blind men are recovering their sight, cripples are walking, lepers being healed, the deaf hearing, the dead being brought to life and the good news is being given to those in need. And happy is the man who never loses faith in me.”
7-10 As John’s disciples were going away Jesus began talking to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the desert to look at? A reed waving in the breeze? No? Then what was it you went out to see?—a man dressed in fine clothes? But the men who wear fine clothes live in the courts of kings! But what did you really go to see—a prophet? Yes, I tell you, a prophet and far more than a prophet! This is the man of whom the scripture says—‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you’.
11 “Believe me, no one greater than John the Baptist has ever been born of all mankind, and yet a humble member of the kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
12-15 “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of Heaven has been taken by storm and eager men are forcing their way into it. For the Law and all the prophets foretold it till the time of John and—if you can believe it—John himself is the ‘Elijah’ who must come before the kingdom. The man who has ears to hear must use them.
16-19 “But how can I show what the people of this generation are like? They are like children sitting in the market-place calling out to their friends, ‘We played at weddings for you but you wouldn’t dance, and we played at funerals and you wouldn’t cry!’ For John came in the strictest austerity and people say, ‘He’s crazy!’ Then the Son of Man came, enjoying life, and people say, ‘Look, a drunkard and a glutton—the bosom-friend of the tax-collector and the sinner.’ Ah, well, wisdom stands or falls by her own actions.”
Jesus denounces apathy—and thanks God that simple men understand his message
20 Then Jesus began reproaching the towns where most of his miracles had taken place because their hearts were unchanged.
21-22 “Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For if Tyre and Sidon had seen the demonstrations of God’s power which you have seen they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Yet I tell you this, that it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
23-24 “And as for you, Capernaum, are you on your way up to Heaven? I tell you will go hurtling down among the dead! If Sodom had seen the miracles that you have seen, Sodom would be standing today. Yet I tell you now that it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”
25-26 At this same time Jesus said, “O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, I thank you for hiding these things from the clever and intelligent and for showing them to mere children. Yes, I thank you, Father, that this was your will.”
27 Then he said: “Everything has been put in my hands by my Father, and nobody knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son—and the man to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28-30 “Come to me, all of you who are weary and over-burdened, and I will give you rest! Put on my yoke and learn from me. For I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

예수님과 세례 요한
11 예수님은 이처럼 열두 제자에게 교훈하신 후에 여러 마을에서 가르치며 전도하시려고 그 곳을 떠나셨다.
2 요한이 감옥에 갇혀 있으면서 그리스도의 하신 일을 듣고 제자들을 예수님께 보내
3 “오실 분이 선생님입니까, 아니면 우리가 다른 분을 기다려야 합니까?” 하고 물어 보게 하였다.
4 예수님은 그들에게 이렇게 대답하셨다. “너희는 가서 듣고 본 것을 요한에게 알려라.
5 소경이 눈을 뜨고 앉은뱅이가 걷고 문둥병자가 깨끗해지며 귀머거리가 듣고 죽은 사람이 살아나고 가난한 사람에게 기쁜 소식이 전파된다고 하라.
6 그리고 [a]나를 의심하지 않는 사람이 행복하다고 일러 주어라.”
7 그들이 떠난 뒤 예수님은 사람들에게 요한에 대하여 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “너희가 무엇을 보려고 광야에 나갔느냐? 바람에 흔들리는 갈대냐,
8 아니면 화려한 옷을 입은 사람이냐? 그런 사람은 왕궁에 있다.
9 그러면 너희가 어째서 나갔느냐? 예언자를 보려고 나갔느냐? 사실 요한은 예언자보다 더 훌륭하다.
10 이 사람을 가리켜 성경에 [b]‘보라! 내가 너보다 앞서 내 사자를 보내겠다. 그가 네 앞에서 네 길을 준비할 것이다’ 라고 기록되어 있다.
11 내가 분명히 말하지만 여자에게서 태어난 사람 중에 [c]세례 요한보다 더 큰 사람은 없다. 그러나 하늘 나라에서는 가장 작은 사람이라도 그보다는 크다.
12 세례 요한의 때부터 지금까지 하늘 나라는 침략을 당하고 있다. 그리고 침략하는 사람이 그 나라를 빼앗는다.
13 모든 예언자들과 율법은 요한의 때까지 예언하였다.
14 너희가 받아들이기를 원한다면 요한이야말로 오기로 되어 있는 엘리야이다.
15 귀 있는 사람은 잘 들어라.
16-17 이 시대 사람을 무엇에 비할 수 있을 까? 이들은 마치 장터에 앉아서 자기 친구들에게 ‘우리가 피리를 불어도 너희가 춤추지 않고 우리가 상여 노래를 불러도 너희가 울지 않았다’ 하고 말하는 아이들과 같다.
18 요한이 와서 먹지도 마시지도 않자 사람들이 ‘그는 귀신 들렸다’ 하더니
19 [d]내가 와서 먹고 마시자 ‘이 사람은 먹고 마시기를 좋아하는 사람이며 세무원과 죄인들의 친구이다’ 하고 말한다. 그러나 [e]하나님의 지혜는 거기에 따르는 결과로 옳다는 것이 입증된다.”
경고와 초청
20 예수님은 기적을 가장 많이 베푸신 마을들이 회개하지 않으므로 이렇게 꾸짖으셨다.
21 “고라신아, 벳새다야, 너희에게 불행이 닥칠 것이다. 너희에게 행한 기적들을 두로와 시돈에서 행했더라면 그들은 벌써 굵은 삼베 옷을 입고 재를 뒤집어쓰고 회개했을 것이다.
22 내가 너희에게 말한다. 심판 날에는 너희보다 두로와 시돈이 더 견디기 쉬울 것이다.
23 가버나움아, 네가 하늘에까지 높아질 것 같으냐? 아니다. [f]지옥에까지 내려갈 것이다. 네게 베푼 그 엄청난 기적을 소돔에서 행하였더라면 오늘까지 소돔이 남아 있을 것이다.
24 내가 너희에게 말한다. 심판 날에는 소돔이 너보다 더 견디기 쉬울 것이다.”
25 그때 예수님은 이렇게 기도하셨다. “하늘과 땅의 주인이신 아버지, 이것을 지혜롭고 영리한 사람에게는 숨기시고 어린 아이들에게는 나타내시니 감사합니다.
26 그렇습니다. 이것은 아버지의 기뻐하시는 뜻이었습니다.
27 아버지께서는 모든 것을 내게 맡겨 주셨습니다. 아버지 외에는 아들을 아는 사람이 없고, 아들과 그리고 아들이 아버지를 알게 하려고 선택하는 사람 외에는 아버지를 아는 사람이 없습니다.”
28 “수고하고 무거운 짐 진 사람들아, 다 나에게 오너라. 내가 너희를 쉬게 하겠다.
29 나는 마음이 온유하고 겸손하다. 내 멍에를 메고 내게 배워라. 그러면 너희 영혼이 쉼을 얻을 것이다.
30 내 멍에는 메기 쉽고 내 짐은 가볍다.”

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)
