Matthew 11:1-11 ▼

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

2 When Iohn being in prison heard the workes of Christe, he sent two of his disciples, and sayde vnto him:

3 Art thou he that shoulde come? or do we loke for another?

4 Iesus aunswered and sayd vnto them: Go and shewe Iohn agayne what ye haue hearde and seene.

5 The blinde receaue their sight, the halt do walke, the lepers are cleansed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore receaue the Gospell.

6 And happy is he that is not offended in me.

7 And as they departed, Iesus began to say vnto the multitude cocerning Iohn: What went ye out into the wildernesse to see? A reede shaken with the winde?

8 Or what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? Beholde, they that weare soft clothyng are in kinges houses.

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

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

11 Ueryly I say vnto you, among them that are borne of women, arose not a greater then Iohn the Baptist: Notwithstandyng, he that is lesse in the kingdome of heauen, is greater then he.
