The King James Version Bible

Matthew 11:14-21

  1. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

  2. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

  3. But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

  4. And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

  5. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

  6. 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.

  7. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

  8. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
