14. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah, who is to come.
15. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
16. But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplace,
17. who, calling out to their companions, say: 'We played music for you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not mourn.'
18. For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say, 'He has a demon.'
19. The Son of man came eating and drinking; and they say, 'Behold, a man who eats voraciously and who drinks wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is justified by her sons."
20. Then he began to rebuke the cities in which many of his miracles were accomplished, for they still had not repented.
21. "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in haircloth and ashes.
22. Yet truly, I say to you, Tyre and Sidon shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment.
23. And you, Capernaum, would you be exalted all the way to heaven? You shall descend all the way to Hell. For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Sodom, perhaps it would have remained, even to this day.
24. Yet truly, I say to you, that the land of Sodom shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment."
25. At that time, Jesus responded and said: "I acknowledge you, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones.
26. Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you.
27. All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.
28. Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you.
29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
30. For my yoke is sweet and my burden is light."
