Gift of I Am (Matthew) 11

 11

 

1 When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had made an end of commanding His twelve disciples, and He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2 Now, when I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) heard from prison about the works of Anointed (Messiah, Christ), he sent two of his disciples,

3 And said to Him: Are You He that should come, or do we look for another?

4 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered saying to them: Go back and tell I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) those things which you hear and see:

5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

6 Blessed is he, who is not offended by Me.

7 Then as they departed, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) began to say to the multitudes concerning I AM is a Gracious Giver (John): What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

8 What did you really go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they wear soft clothing in kings' houses.

9 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send My messenger before You, which shall prepare Your way before You.

11 Truly, I say to you: Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12 And from the days of I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until I AM is a Gracious Giver (John).

14 And, if you will receive it, this is My God is I Am (Elijah), which was to come.

15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

16 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,

17 And saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not lamented.

18 For I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) came neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a devil.

19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But Wisdom is justified by her children.

20 Then began He to upbraid the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they did not repent:

21 Woe to you, Furnace of Smoke (Chorazin)! woe to you, House of Fish (Bethsaida)! If the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon), they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22 But I say to you: It shall be more tolerable for A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon) at the day of judgment, than for you.

23 And you, Village of Comfort (Capernaum), which are exalted to heaven, shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Burning (Sodom), it would have remained until this day.

24 But I say to you: It shall be more tolerable for the land of Burning (Sodom) in the day of judgment, than for you.

25 At that time I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) prayed and said: I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.

26 Even so, Father: It seemed good in your sight.

27 All things are delivered to Me by my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither does any man know the Father, save the Son and to whoever the Son will reveal Him.

28 Come to Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.

30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
