Matthew 11 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition(CEVDCI)

John the Baptist(Luke 7.18-35)

1After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he left and began teaching and preaching in the towns.

2John was in prison when he heard what Christ was doing. So John sent some of his followers

3to ask Jesus, “Are you the one we should be looking for? Or must we wait for someone else?”

4Jesus answered, “Go and tell John what you have heard and seen.

5 are being healed, and the deaf can hear. The dead are raised to life, and the poor are hearing the good news.

6God will bless everyone who doesn't reject me because of what I do.”

7As John's followers were going away, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John:

What sort of person did you go out into the desert to see? Was he like tall grass blown about by the wind?

8What kind of man did you go out to see? Was he someone dressed in fine clothes? People who dress like that live in the king's palace.

9What did you really go out to see? Was he a prophet? He certainly was. I tell you that he was more than a prophet.

10 told what was going to happen up to the time of John.

14 and sinners.” Yet Wisdom is shown to be right by what it does.

The Unbelieving Towns(Luke 10.13-15)

20In the towns where Jesus had worked most of his miracles, the people refused to turn to God. So Jesus was upset with them and said:

21

22I tell you on the day of judgment the people of Tyre and Sidon will get off easier than you will.

23 I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from me. I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest.

30This yoke is easy to bear, and this burden is light.
