This is a parallel-text presentation of Matthew 11:1–30 in three versions side by side: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV), and the Latin Vulgate — a format typical of scholarly biblical reference works. The passage opens with John the Baptist, imprisoned, sending disciples to ask Jesus whether he is "the one who is to come," and Jesus responding by pointing to his miracles (the blind see, the lame walk, the dead are raised) as evidence. Jesus then delivers an extended discourse on John's identity, declaring him the greatest born of women yet lesser than the least in the kingdom of heaven, and identifying him with the prophesied Elijah. The passage includes a sharp indictment of towns that witnessed Jesus's miracles but did not repent — Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum — warning that Tyre, Sidon, and even Sodom will fare better at judgment. It closes with one of the New Testament's most distinctive Christological claims (that only the Father knows the Son and vice versa) and the famous invitation to "come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden," offering rest under an "easy yoke." The parallel layout highlights verbal correspondences and divergences across the three textual traditions, making it a resource for comparative translation and textual study rather than devotional reading.
