\subsection{\Matthew 11}
|
|
\VS{1} And it came to pass when \Iesous finished commanding his twelve disciples
|
|
he went from there teaching and preaching in all their cities.
|
|
\subsubsection{\Iesous and \John the Baptizer}
|
|
\VS{2} Now \John having heard in prison the works of the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One],
|
|
having sent through his disciples
|
|
\VS{3} he said to him: Are you the coming [one] or do we look for another?
|
|
\VS{4} And answering \Iesous said to them: Go tell \John what you hear and see:
|
|
\VS{5} The blind see again, and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and deaf hear,
|
|
and dead are raised and [the] poor are good-newsed.
|
|
\VS{6} And blessed is he who shall not be offended in me.
|
|
|
|
\VS{7} Now when these are going, \Iesous began to be saying to the crowd concerning \John{}:
|
|
What did you come out into the wilderness to see, [a] reed shaken by the wind?
|
|
\VS{8} So what did you come out to behold? [A] person clothed in soft [things]?
|
|
Behold those wearing soft [things] are in the houses of the kings.
|
|
\VS{9} So why did you come out? To behold [a] prophet?
|
|
Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
|
|
\VS{10} This is he of whom it is written\footnote{Mal.3:1}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Behold I send my messenger before my face, \\
|
|
Who will prepare the way before me.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{11} Truly I say to you, there has not arisen [one] born of women greater than \John the baptizing [one].
|
|
But the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
|
|
\VS{12} But from the days of \John the baptizing [one] until now the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence,
|
|
and violent men carry her off.
|
|
\VS{13} For all the prophets and law until \John prophesied [it].
|
|
\VS{14} And if you wish to accept [it], he himself is \Elias, the [one] destined to be coming.
|
|
\VS{15} The [one] having ears to be hearing%
|
|
\footnote{``ears to be hearing" \sinaiticus{} W \hesychian{} \vulgate{} most; ``ears" BD}
|
|
let\fnImperative{} him be hearing.
|
|
|
|
\VS{16} So to what shall I liken this generation?
|
|
It is like children sitting in the market-place who call to the others
|
|
\VS{17} saying:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
We played the flute for you and you did not dance, \\
|
|
We mourned and you did not beat yourself.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{18} For \John came neither eating nor drinking, and you say: He has a demon.
|
|
\VS{19} The Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{} came eating and drinking, and you say:
|
|
Behold [this] man is [a] glutton and [a] wino, [a] friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
|
|
And wisdom is justified by her children%
|
|
\footnote{``children" D\koine{} most \vulgate{}; ``works'' \sinaiticus{}BW}.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Woes on Unrepentant Cities}
|
|
\VS{20} Then he began to be reproaching the cities in which had come to pass the most of his miracles,
|
|
because they had not new-minded [themselves]\fnMetanoia{}:
|
|
\VS{21} Woe to you \Chorazin! Woe to you \Bethsaida!
|
|
Because if the miracles that came to pass in you had come to pass in \Tyre and \Sidon,
|
|
long ago they would have new-minded [themselves] in sackcloth and ashes.
|
|
\VS{22} Moreover I say to you, it will be more bearable for \Tyre and \Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
|
|
\VS{23} And you \Kapernaoum, aren't you exalted to the heavens?
|
|
You will go down to Hades\fnHades{};
|
|
because if the miracles that came to pass in you had come to pass in \Sodoma,
|
|
it would have remained until this day.
|
|
\VS{24} Moreover I say to you that it will be more bearable for [the] land of \Sodoma
|
|
in the day of judgment than for you.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{\Iesous's Invitation}
|
|
\VS{25} In that opportune-time\fnKairos{} \Iesous answered saying:
|
|
I confess to you\footnote{or ``agree with you''},
|
|
O father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these [things] from the wise and intelligent,
|
|
and have revealed these [things] to children.
|
|
\VS{26} Yes, O father, for thus [your] purpose came to pass before you.
|
|
\VS{27} Everything has been delivered to me by my father,
|
|
and no one knows the son except the father,
|
|
nor does anyone know the father except the son and [the one] to whom the son intends to reveal [him].
|
|
|
|
\VS{28} Come to me all [you who are] exhausted and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
|
|
\VS{29} Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart,
|
|
and you will find rest for your psyche-lives\fnPsyche{}.
|
|
\VS{30} For my yoke is kind\footnote{CHR\={E}ST\'{O}S --- pronounced almost identically to CHRIST\'{O}S/``Christ''.
|
|
The wordplay was noted by some early Christian writers.
|
|
}
|
|
and my burden is light.
