Part 12

40:010:034 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

40:010:035 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

40:010:036 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

40:010:037 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

40:010:038 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

40:010:039 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

40:010:040 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

40:010:041 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

40:010:042 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

40:011:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

40:011:002 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

40:011:003 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

40:011:004 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

40:011:005 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.

40:011:006 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

40:011:007 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

40:011:008 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

40:011:009 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

40:011:010 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

40:011:011 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

40:011:012 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

40:011:013 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

40:011:014 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

40:011:015 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

40:011:016 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

40:011:017 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

40:011:018 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

40:011:019 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 of her children.
