Matthew Chapter 11 – Are you offended at Jesus?

In Episode 16 of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard opens Matthew 11 — one of the great turning points in the Gospel — where John the Baptist asks from prison: “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” The answer Jesus gives isn’t what anyone expected. And that’s exactly the point. This episode unpacks three movements in Matthew 11:

* The Evidence — Messianic proof that confounds expectations (vv. 1–6)

* The Excuses — Why a whole generation rejects the Messiah in front of them (vv. 7–24)

* The Encounter — “Come to me, all who are weary” (vv. 25–30)
