Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Matthew chapter eleven. 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. Now,
when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ,
he sent two of his disciples and said, unto him,

(00:20):
art thou he that should come, Or do we look
for another? Jesus answered and said, unto them, go and
show John again those things which ye do hear? And see.
The blind received their sight, and the lame walk, the
lepers are cleansed, and the death here the dead are

(00:41):
raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in me.
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 word wind? But

(01:01):
what went he ought for to see a man clothed
in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are
in king's houses. But what went he ought for to
see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more
than a prophet, For this is he of whom it
is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,

(01:24):
which shall prepare thy way before thee 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. And from the days of John the
Baptist until now the kingdom of Heaven suffeth violence, and

(01:46):
the violent take it by force. For all the prophets
in the law prophesied until John, and if he will
receive it, this is Elias which was for to come
he that hath ears to hear, let him hear. But
where unto shall I liken this generation. It is like

(02:07):
unto children sitting in the markets and calling unto their fellows,
and saying, we have piped unto you, and ye have
not danced. We have mourned unto you, and ye have
not lamented. For John came neither eating nor drinking, And
they say, he hath a devil. The son of man
came eating and drinking. And they say, behold, a man

(02:28):
glutton is and a wine bibber, a friend of publicans
and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. Then
began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his
mighty works were done, because they repented, not woe unto
thee collaz In woe unto thee beth Sida. For if

(02:48):
the mighty works which are done in you had been
done in tyren Ziden, they would have repented long ago
in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, it
shall be more tolerable for tyron Ziden at the day
of Judgment than for you. And Thou Capernium, which art
exalted unto Heaven, shalt be brought down to hell. For

(03:09):
if the mighty works which have been done in THEE
had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until
this day. But I say unto you that it shall
be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the
day of Judgment than for THEE at that time. Jesus
answered and said, I thank THEE, O, Father, Lord of
Heaven and Earth, because thou hast hid these things from

(03:31):
the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy
sight all things are delivered unto me of my Father.
And no man knoweth the son, but the father. Neither
knoweth any man the father save the son, and he
to whomsoever the son will reveal him. Come unto me,

(03:54):
all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart,
and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light,
