11–BOB
Iso Masih va Yahyo choʻmdiruvchi
1 Iso oʻn ikki shogirdiga koʻrsatmalarni berib boʻlgandan keyin, yaqin atrofdagi shaharlarda taʼlim berish va vaʼz aytish uchun ketdi. 2 Yahyo bu paytda zindonda edi , u Isoning qilayotgan ishlarini eshitib, shogirdlarini Isoning oldiga 3 shunday savol bilan yubordi: “Keladigan Zot Sizmisiz, yoki biz boshqasini kutaylikmi?”
4 Iso Yahyoning shogirdlariga shunday javob berdi:
— Boringlar, koʻrib eshitayotganlaringizni Yahyoga aytinglar: 5 koʻrlar koʻrmoqda, choʻloqlar yurmoqda, teri kasalligiga chalinganlar tuzalmoqda, karlar eshitmoqda, oʻliklar tirilmoqda, yoʻqsillar Xushxabarni eshitmoqda. 6 Mendan yuz oʻgirmaganlar naqadar baxtlidir!
7 Yahyoning shogirdlari ketayotganlarida, Iso olomonga Yahyo haqida gapira boshladi: “Sahroga nimani koʻrgani bordingizlar? Shamolda hilpirab turgan qamishnimi? 8 Xoʻsh, nimani koʻrgani bordingizlar? Bashang kiyingan odamnimi? Bashang kiyinganlar shoh saroyida boʻladi–ku! 9 Unday boʻlsa, nimani koʻrgani bordingizlar? Paygʻambarnimi? Ha, sizlarga shuni aytay: sizlar paygʻambardan ham ulugʻini koʻrdingizlar! 10 U haqda shunday yozilgan:

«Mana, Sendan oldin Men Oʻz elchimni yuboryapman,
U Sen uchun yoʻlni hozirlaydi.»

11 Sizlarga chinini aytay: butun inson zoti orasida Yahyo choʻmdiruvchidan ulugʻi yoʻq. Ammo Osmon Shohligida eng kichik hisoblangan odam ham undan ulugʻroqdir. 12 Yahyo choʻmdiruvchi davridan shu kungacha odamlar Osmon Shohligiga shafqatsiz hujum qilmoqdalar. Zoʻravonlar Osmon Shohligini qoʻlga kiritishga harakat qilmoqdalar. 13 Yahyo choʻmdiruvchidan oldin oʻtgan hamma paygʻambarlarning bitiklarida va Tavrot kitobida Osmon Shohligi haqida bashorat qilingan. 14 Agar bu bashoratlarga ishonishni istasangizlar, Yahyo — kelishi bashorat qilingan Ilyosdir . 15 Kimning eshitar qulogʻi boʻlsa, eshitsin!
16 Bu naslni kimga qiyoslasam boʻladi? Ular bolalarga oʻxshaydilar, maydonda oʻtirib olib, shunday deya bir–birlariga baqiradilar:

17 «Sizlar uchun nay chaldik, ammo raqsga tushmadingiz,
Biz oh–voh qildik, ammo sizlar qaygʻurmadingiz.»

18 Yahyo kelganda, u na yedi, na ichdi, shuning uchun hamma: «Uni jin uribdi», deydilar. 19 Inson Oʻgʻli kelganda esa ham yedi, ham ichdi. Ammo Uni: «Yebtoʻymas, sharobxoʻr, soliqchilar va gunohkorlarning doʻsti», deydilar. Lekin bilib qoʻyinglar: donolik toʻgʻri ekanligi oʻz natijasidan ayon .”
Gunohkor shaharlarning holiga voy
20 Iso baʼzi shaharlarda koʻp moʻjizalar koʻrsatgandi, ammo xalq oʻz gunohlari uchun tavba qilmadi. Iso oʻsha shaharlar aholisiga taʼna qildi: 21 “Sening holingga voy, ey Xorazin! Sening holingga voy, ey Baytsayda! Agar sizlarda qilingan moʻjizalar Tir bilan Sidon shaharlarida qilinganda edi, ular allaqachon qanorga oʻranib, boshlariga kul sochib , tavba qilgan boʻlardilar. 22 Biroq sizlarga aytayin: qiyomat kunida sizning holingiz Tir va Sidonning holidan battar boʻladi. 23 Ey Kafarnahum! Xudo seni koʻklarga koʻtaradi deb oʻylaysanmi?! Yoʻq, U seni tubsiz chuqurlikka uloqtiradi! Agar senda yuz bergan moʻjizalar Sadoʻmda boʻlganda edi, u shahar shu kungacha saqlanib qolgan boʻlar edi. 24 Biroq senga aytayin: qiyomat kunida sening holing Sadoʻm shahrining holidan battar boʻladi.”
Holdan toyganlarga orom vaʼdasi
25 Oʻsha vaqtda Iso yana shunday dedi: “Ey Ota, yeru osmonning Egasi! Sen bu ishlarni donolaru idroklilardan yashirib, goʻdaklarga maʼlum etganing uchun Senga shukurlar aytaman. 26 Ha, Ota, bu Sening ezgu xohishing edi.
27 Otam hamma narsani Mening ixtiyorimga topshirgan. Oʻgʻilni Otadan boshqa hech kim bilmaydi. Otani ham Oʻgʻildan boshqa va Oʻgʻil ayon qilishni istagan odamdan boshqa hech kim bilmaydi.
28 Ey holdan toyganlar, ogʻir yuk ostida qolganlar, hammalaringiz Mening oldimga kelinglar! Men sizlarga orom beraman. 29 Mening boʻyinturugʻimni taqib olinglar, Mendan oʻrganinglar. Chunki Men yumshoq koʻngil va kamtarinman. Shunda sizlarning jonlaringiz orom topadi. 30 Axir, Mening boʻyinturugʻim qulay, yukim yengildir.”
1 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. 2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: 5 The 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. 6 And blessed is he , whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 ¶ 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 wind? 8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. 9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he , of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 11 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. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if ye will receive it , this is Elias, which was for to come. 15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 ¶ But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, 17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19 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.
20 ¶ Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21 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. 22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And 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. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 ¶ At 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. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 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.
28 ¶ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
