Matthew 11:14-21 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

14. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.

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

16. But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,

17. say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.

18. For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.

19. The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man that is eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: --and wisdom has been justified by her children.

20. Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.

21. Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes.
