Matthew 11

¹And it came to passe that when Iesus had made an ende of commaunding his twelue disciples, hee departed thence to teache and to preach in their cities.

²And when Iohn heard in the prison the woorkes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and sayde vnto him,

³Art thou he that shoulde come, or shall we looke for another?

⁴And Iesus answering, said vnto them, Goe, and shewe Iohn, what things ye heare, and see.

⁵The blinde receiue sight, and the halt doe walke: the lepers are clensed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore receiue the Gospel.

⁶And blessed is he that shall not be offeded in me.

⁷And as they departed, Iesus beganne to speake vnto the multitude, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?

⁸But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that weare soft clothing, are in Kings houses.

⁹But what went ye out to see? A Prophet? Yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet.

¹⁰For this is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

¹¹Verely I say vnto you, among them which are begotten of women, arose there not a greater then Iohn Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is the least in the kingdome of heauen, is greater then he.

¹²And from the time of Iohn Baptist hitherto, the kingdome of heauen suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
