Matthew 11

Gen Z: Matthew 11

1So, Jesus finished giving his squad the 411 and dipped to teach and preach in their towns.

2John, stuck in prison, heard about Christ’s moves and sent two of his homies.

3He was like, "Yo, are you the one we’ve been waiting for, or should we keep it moving?"

4Jesus hit them with, "Go tell John what you see and hear, fam."

5Blind peeps get their sight back, the lame are strolling, lepers be clean, deaf folks hear, dead rise up, and the poor get the good news.

6And blessed is anyone who ain’t trippin’ over me.

7As they bounced, Jesus started talking to the crowd about John, asking, "What did you go out to the wild to see? A reed swaying in the breeze?"

8But seriously, what were you expecting? A dude in fancy clothes? Those peeps are chilling in palaces.

9So, what did you go out for? A prophet? Bet, he’s more than just a prophet.

10This is the guy they wrote about: "I’m sending my messenger ahead of you to get your path ready."

11For real, no cap, John the Baptist is the GOAT, but even the least in heaven is vibin' higher than him.

12Since John, the kingdom of heaven's been under pressure, and the hypebeasts are taking it by force.

13All the prophets and the law were dropping knowledge until John rolled up.

14If you catch the vibes, this is Elijah, the one everyone was waiting for.

15If you got ears, listen up, fam.

16How do I even describe this generation? It's like kids chilling in the market, calling out to each other.

17They're like, "We played you a jam, but you didn't dance; we brought the feels, but you didn’t cry."

18John was out here not eating or drinking, and they were like, "Dude's sus, he’s got a devil."

19The Son of Man came through eating and drinking, and they were like, "Yo, this guy's a total foodie and hangs with the sinners." But wisdom's got her crew.

20Then He started calling out the cities where He did most of His lit work, 'cause they just wouldn’t vibe with Him.

21Yo, Chorazin and Bethsaida, y’all are sus! If the wild stuff I did for you happened in Tyre and Sidon, they would've been like, “My bad,” in sackcloth and ashes, fr.

22But for real, I’m telling you, Tyre and Sidon gonna have it easier on judgment day than you.

23And you, Capernaum, thinking you’re all that, gonna get knocked down to hell: if the dope works I did in you happened in Sodom, it would still be poppin’ today.

24For real, it’ll be easier for Sodom on judgment day than for you, periodt.

25At that moment, Jesus was like, “Thanks, Dad, Lord of heaven and earth, for keeping this wisdom from the know-it-alls and spilling the tea to the little ones.”

26For real, Dad: this was lit in your eyes.

27Everything’s been handed to me by my Father: no one knows the Son but the Father; and no one knows the Father except the Son and whoever the Son chooses to show him to, no cap.

28Slide into my DMs if you’re tired and weighed down, and I’ll hook you up with some rest.

29Take my vibes upon you and learn from me; I’m chill and humble at heart: you’ll find peace for your souls, fr.

30My vibes are easy, and my load is light, no cap.

KJV: Matthew 11

1And 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.

2Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

3And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

4Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

5The 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.

6And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

7And 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?

8But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

9But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

10For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

11Verily 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.

12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

14And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

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

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

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

18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

19The 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.

20Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

21Woe 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.

22But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

24But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27All 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.

28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

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