Mateo 11
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
11 At nangyari, na nang matapos nang masabi ni Jesus ang kaniyang mga utos sa kaniyang labingdalawang alagad, ay umalis siya roon upang magturo at mangaral sa mga bayan nila.
2 Nang marinig nga ni Juan sa bilangguan ang mga gawa ni Cristo, ay nagpasugo siya sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga alagad,
3 At sinabi sa kaniya, Ikaw baga yaong paririto, o hihintayin namin ang iba?
4 At sumagot si Jesus at sa kanila'y sinabi, Magsiparoon kayo at sabihin ninyo kay Juan ang mga bagay na inyong nangaririnig at nangakikita:
5 Ang mga bulag ay nangakakakita, ang mga pilay ay nangakalalakad, ang mga ketongin ay nangalilinis, at ang mga bingi ay nangakaririnig, at ang mga patay ay ibinabangon, at sa mga dukha ay ipinangangaral ang mabubuting balita.
6 At mapalad ang sinomang hindi makasumpong ng anomang katitisuran sa akin.
7 At samantalang ang mga ito'y nagsisiyaon ng kanilang lakad, ay nagpasimula si Jesus na magsalita sa mga karamihan tungkol kay Juan, Ano ang nilabas ninyo upang masdan sa ilang? isang tambo na inuuga ng hangin?
8 Datapuwa't ano ang nilabas ninyo upang makita? isang taong nararamtan ng mga damit na maseselan? Narito, ang mga nagsisipanamit ng maseselan ay nangasa mga bahay ng mga hari.
9 Datapuwa't ano ang nilabas ninyo? upang makita ang isang propeta? Oo, sinasabi ko sa inyo, at lalo pang higit kay sa isang propeta.
10 Ito yaong tungkol sa kaniya'y nasusulat, Narito, sinusugo ko ang aking sugo sa unahan ng iyong mukha, Na maghahanda ng iyong daan sa unahan mo.
11 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Sa gitna ng mga ipinanganganak ng mga babae ay walang lumitaw na isang dakila kay sa kay Juan Bautista: gayon man ang lalong maliit sa kaharian ng langit ay lalong dakila kay sa kaniya.
12 At mula sa mga araw ni Juan Bautista hanggang ngayon, ang kaharian ng langit ay nagbabata ng karahasan, at kinukuha nang sapilitan ng mga taong mararahas.
13 Sapagka't ang lahat ng mga propeta at ang kautusan hanggang kay Juan ay nagsipanghula.
14 At kung ibig ninyong tanggapin, ay siya'y si Elias na paririto.
15 Ang may mga pakinig upang ipakinig, ay makinig.
16 Datapuwa't sa ano ko itutulad ang lahing ito? Tulad sa mga batang nangakaupo sa mga pamilihan, na sinisigawan ang kanilang mga kasama.
17 At sinasabi, Tinutugtugan namin kayo ng plauta, at hindi kayo nagsisisayaw; nagsipanambitan kami, at hindi kayo nangahapis.
18 Sapagka't naparito si Juan na hindi kumakain o umiinom man, at sinasabi nila, Siya'y mayroong demonio.
19 Naparito ang Anak ng tao na kumakain at umiinom, at sinasabi nila, Narito, ang isang matakaw na tao at isang manginginom ng alak, isang kaibigan ng mga maniningil ng buwis at ng mga makasalanan! At ang karunungan ay inaaring-ganap ng kaniyang mga gawa.
20 Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang pinasimulang sumbatan ang mga bayan na pinaggagawan niya ng lalong marami sa kaniyang mga gawang makapangyarihan, sapagka't hindi sila nangagsisi.
21 Sa aba mo, Corazin! sa aba mo, Bethsaida! sapagka't kung sa Tiro at sa Sidon sana ginawa ang mga gawang makapangyarihan na ginawa sa inyo, malaon na dising nangagsisi na may mga damit na magaspang at abo.
22 Nguni't sinasabi ko sa inyo na higit na mapagpapaumanhinan ang Tiro at Sidon sa araw ng paghuhukom, kay sa inyo.
23 At ikaw, Capernaum, magpapakataas ka baga hanggang sa langit? ibababa ka hanggang sa Hades: sapagka't kung sa Sodoma sana ginawa ang mga makapangyarihang gawang sa iyo'y ginawa, ay nanatili sana siya hanggang sa araw na ito.
24 Datapuwa't sinasabi ko sa inyo na higit na mapagpapaumanhinan ang lupa ng Sodoma sa araw ng paghuhukom, kay sa iyo.
25 Nang panahong yaon ay sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, Ako'y nagpapasalamat sa iyo, Oh Ama, Panginoon ng langit at ng lupa, na iyong inilihim ang mga bagay na ito sa mga pantas at matatalino, at ipinahayag mo sa mga sanggol:
26 Oo nga, Ama, sapagka't gayon ang nakalugod sa iyong paningin.
27 Ang lahat ng mga bagay ay ibinigay sa akin ng aking Ama: at sinoma'y hindi nakakakilala sa Anak kundi ang Ama; at sinoma'y hindi nakakakilala sa Ama, kundi ang Anak, at yaong ibiging pagpahayagan ng Anak.
28 Magsiparito sa akin, kayong lahat na nangapapagal at nangabibigatang lubha, at kayo'y aking papagpapahingahin.
29 Pasanin ninyo ang aking pamatok, at magaral kayo sa akin; sapagka't ako'y maamo at mapagpakumbabang puso: at masusumpungan ninyo ang kapahingahan ng inyong mga kaluluwa.
30 Sapagka't malambot ang aking pamatok, at magaan ang aking pasan.
Matthew 11
English Standard Version
Messengers from John the Baptist
11 When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 (A)Now when John heard (B)in prison about the deeds of (C)the Christ, he sent word by (D)his disciples 3 and said to him, “Are you (E)the one who is to come, or shall we (F)look for another?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: 5 (G)the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers[a] are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and (H)the poor have good news preached to them. 6 And blessed is the one who (I)is not offended by me.”
7 As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out (J)into the wilderness to see? (K)A reed shaken by the wind? 8 What then did you go out to see? A man[b] dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 9 What then did you go out to see? (L)A prophet?[c] Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is he of whom it is written,
(M)“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.’
11 Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 (N)From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,[d] and the violent take it by force. 13 (O)For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is (P)Elijah who is to come. 15 (Q)He who has ears to hear,[e] let him hear.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,
17 “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came (R)neither eating (S)nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came (T)eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, (U)a friend of (V)tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”[f]
Woe to Unrepentant Cities
20 (W)Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. 21 (X)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in (Y)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 (Z)But I tell you, it will be more bearable on (AA)the day of judgment for (AB)Tyre and Sidon than for you. 23 And you, (AC)Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to (AD)Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 (AE)But I tell you that (AF)it will be more tolerable on (AG)the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.”
Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest
25 (AH)At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, (AI)Lord of heaven and earth, that (AJ)you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and (AK)revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your (AL)gracious will.[g] 27 (AM)All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son (AN)except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone (AO)to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 (AP)Come to (AQ)me, all who labor and are (AR)heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and (AS)learn from me, for I am (AT)gentle and lowly in heart, and (AU)you will find rest for your souls. 30 For (AV)my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

New King James Version
John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus(A)
11 Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to (B)teach and to preach in their cities.
2 (C)And when John had heard (D)in prison about the works of Christ, he [a]sent two of his disciples 3 and said to Him, “Are You (E)the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: 5 (F)The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and (G)the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he who is not (H)offended because of Me.”
7 (I)As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? (J)A reed shaken by the wind? 8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. 9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, (K)and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he of whom it is written:
(L)‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’
11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 (M)And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 (N)For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to receive it, he is (O)Elijah who is to come. 15 (P)He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
16 (Q)“But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions, 17 and saying:
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not [b]lament.’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a [c]winebibber, (R)a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ (S)But wisdom is justified by her [d]children.”
Woe to the Impenitent Cities(T)
20 (U)Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago (V)in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say to you, (W)it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, (X)who[e] are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say to you (Y)that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”
Jesus Gives True Rest(Z)
25 (AA)At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that (AB)You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent (AC)and have revealed them to babes. 26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 27 (AD)All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. (AE)Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to (AF)Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you (AG)and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and (AH)lowly in heart, (AI)and you will find rest for your souls. 30 (AJ)For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
