Matthew 11
Reading Matthew chapter 11 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,
3 and said to him, Art thou the coming [one]? or are we to wait for another?
4 And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.
5 Blind [men] see and lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear; and dead are raised, and poor have glad tidings preached to them:
6 and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 But as they went [away], Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind?
8 But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate raiment? behold, those who wear delicate things are in the houses of kings.
9 But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet:
10 this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
