Saunt Matthew 11
11
1An’ it cam’ to pass whan Jesus had made an’ en’ o’ commaundin’ his twal disciples, he gaed awa frae there to teach an’ to preach in their touns.
2Now whan John had hear’t in the prison the warks o’ Christ he sendet twa o’ his disciples,
3An’ said until him, Art thou he that sud come, or do we leuk for anither?
4Jesus answer’t an’ said until them, Gae ye, an’ shaw John again thae things whilk ye do hear an’ see:
5The blin’ receive their sicht, an’ the lame gang, the lepers are cleanset, an’ the deaf hear, the dead are raiset up, an’ the puir hae the gospel preachet til them.
6An’ blesset is he whasaever sallna be offendet because o’ me.
7An’, as they gaed awa, Jesus begoude to say until the thrang anent John, What gaed ye out intil the wilderness to see? a reed shaken wi’ the win’?
8But what gaed ye out for to see? a man claithet in saft claes? Behald, they wha wear saft claithin’ are in kings’ houses.
9But what gaed ye out for to see? a prophet? ay, I say until you, an’ mair nor a prophet.
10For this is he o’ wham it is written, Behald, I sen’ my messenger afore thy face wha sall mak’ ready thy road afore thee.
11Verily I say unto you, Amang thae wha are born o’ women there hathna risen a greater nor John the Baptist: yet he that is laist in the kingdom o’ heaven is greater nor he.
12An’ frae the days o’ John the Baptist till now the kingdom o’ heaven tholeth violence, an’ the violent tak’ it by force.
13For a’ the prophets an’ the law prophesiet till John.
14An’ gin ye will receive it, this is Elias, wha was for to come.
15He wha hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16But whareuntil sall I even this generation? It is like unto childer sittin’ in the markets, an’ ca’ing until their fallows,
17An’ sayin’, We hae pipet until you, an’ ye haena dancet; we hae murnet until you, an’ ye haena lamentet.
18For John cam’ neither eatin’ nar drinkin’, an’ they say, He hath a deevil.
19The Son o’ man cam’ eatin’ an’ drinkin’, an’ they say, Behald a man gluttonous an’ a wine‐bibber, a frien’ o’ publicans an’ sinners. But wisdom is justifiet o’ her childer.
20Syne begoude he to upbraid the touns wharein maist o’ his michty warks were dune, because they didna repent:
21Wae until thee, Chorazin! wae until thee, Bethsaida! for gif the michty warks whilk were dune in you had been dune in Tyre an’ Sidon, they wad hae repented lang syne in sackclaith an’ ases.
22But I say until you, It will be mair brookable for Tyre an’ Sidon at the day o’ judgment nor for you.
23An’ thou, Capernaum, whilk art liftet up until heaven sall be broucht doun til hell; for gif the michty warks whilk hae been dune in thee had been dune in Sodom, it wad hae been t’ the fore until this day.
24But I say until you, that it sall be mair brookable for the lan’ o’ Sodom in the day o’ judgment nor for thee.
25At that time Jesus spak’ an’ said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord o’ heaven an’ yirth, because thou hast hidden thae things frae the wise an’ prudent, an’ hast shawed them until bairns.
26E’en sae, Father: for sae it seemet guid in thy sicht.
27A’ things are gien until me o’ my Father; an’ nae man kenneth the Son but the Father; neither kenneth ony man the Father saufan’ the Son, an’ he til whamsaever the Son sall shaw him.
28Come until me, a’ ye wha labor an’ are heavy laden, an’ I will gie you rest.
29Tak’ my yoke upon you, an’ learn o’ me; for I am meek an’ laighly in hairt; an’ ye sall fin’ rest until your sauls.
30For my yoke is easy, an’ my burden is licht.
