malakhim from Yochanan the Immerser
11:1 And it came to pass, when Yehoshua (יהושע) had made an end of commanding His Shneym Asar (Twelve) talmidim, he departed thence to teach and to proclaim in their cities.
11:2 Now when Yochanan had heard in the prison the works of Moshiach, he sent two of His Talmidim,
11:3 And said unto him, Art thou He who comes, or do we await another?
11:4 Yehoshua (יהושע) answered and said unto them, Go and shew Yochanan again those things which ye do hear and see:
(Yeshayahu 35:4-7; 61:1-3; 29:18-19 CJB answer Yeshayahu 35:4 )
11:7 And as they departed, Yehoshua (יהושע) began to say unto the multitudes concerning Yochanan, What went ye out into the midbar to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Hinnei, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses.
11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A Navi? yea, I say unto you, and more than a Navi.
11:10 For this is [he], of whom it is written, Hinnei, I send my Malak before thy face, which *shall prepare thy way before thee.
11:11 Truely I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than Yochanan the Immerser: notwithstanding he that is least in the Malkut HaShamayim is greater than he.*
11:12 And from the days of Yochanan the Immerser until now the Malkut HaShamayim suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
11:13 For all the Neviim and the Torah prophesied with regards to Yochanan.
11:14 And if ye will receive [it], this is EliYahu, which was for to comes.
11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him Shema.
11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
11:18 For Yochanan came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
11:19 BEN ADAM came eating and drinking, and they say, Hinnei a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
Yehoshua (יהושע)Condemns certain cities
(Loukas 10:13-15)
11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Beit Tzada (house of fish)! 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.
11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Yom HaDin (the Day of Judgment), than for you. (Yechezk'el 26,27,28)
11:23 And thou, K'far-Nachum , which art exalted unto Shamayim, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sedom, it would have remained until this day.
11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the eretz Sedom in Yom Hadin, than for thee.
(Loukas 10:21,22)
11:25 At that time Yehoshua (יהושע) answered and said, I thank thee, O AVI, Adonay Shamayim and eretz, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
11:26 Even so, AVI: for so it seemed tov in thy sight.
11:27 All things are delivered unto me of My AVI: and no man knoweth the Son, but the AVI; neither knoweth any man the AVI, save the SON, and [he] to whomsoever the SON will reveal [him].
Yehoshua (יהושע) quote from : Yirmeyahu 2:20; 5:4-5; 6:16-19
11:28 Come unto Me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
11:29 Take My ol (yoke; על) upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your nefashot.
11:30

Yoke (1) The usual word is עול, ‛o l (Gen 27:40, etc.), less commonly the (apparently later) form מוטה, mo ṭa h (Isa 58:6, etc.; in Nab Yeshayahu 1:13 מוט, mo ṭ), which the Revised Version (British and American) in Yirmeyahu 27; 28 translates “bar” (a most needless and obscuring change). The Greek in Apocrypha (Sirach 28:19, etc.) and in the New Covenant (MattitYahu 11:29 f, etc.) is invariably ζυγός, zugós. Mitries monuments show a yoke that consisted of a straight bar fastened to the foreheads of the cattle at the root of the horns, and such yokes were no doubt used in Palestine also; but the more usual form was one that rested on the neck (Gen 27:40, etc.). It was provided with straight “bars” (mo ṭo th in Lev 26:13; Eze 34:27) projecting downward, against which the shoulders of the oxen pressed, and it was held in position by thongs or “bonds” (mo ṣe ro th in Yirmeyahu 2:20; Yirmeyahu 5:5; Yirmeyahu 27:2; Yirmeyahu 30:8; 'ăghuddo th in Yeshayahu 58:6, “bands”), fastened under the animals' throats. Such yokes could of course be of any weight (1Ki 12:4 ff), depending on the nature of the work to be done, but the use of “iron yokes” (Deu 28:48; Yirmeyahu 28:13 f) must have been very rare, if, indeed, the phrase is anything more than a figure of speech.
What is meant by “the yoke on their jaws” in Hos 11:4 is quite obscure. Possibly a horse's bit is meant; possibly the phrase is a condensed form for “the yoke that prevents their feeding”; possibly the text is corrupt. See JAW.
The figurative use of “yoke” in the sense of “servitude” is intensely obvious (compare especially Yirmeyahu 27, 28). Attention needs to be called only to Lam 3:27, where “disciplining sorrow” is meant, and to Yirmeyahu 5:5, where the phrase is a figure for “the Torah of Elohim.” This last use became popular with the Jews at a later period and it is found, e.g. in Apocrypha Baruch 41:3; Psalter of Solomon 7:9; 17:32; Ab. iii. 7,. and in this sense the phrase is employed. by Moshiach in MattitYahu 11:29 f. “My yoke” here means “the service of Elohim as I teach it” (the common interpretation, “the sorrows that I bear,” is utterly irrelevant) and the emphasis is on “my.” The contrast is not between “yoke” and “no yoke,” but between “my teaching” (light yoke) and “the current scribal teaching'; (heavy yoke).
(2) “Yoke” in the sense of “a pair of oxen” is צמד, cemedh (1Sa 11:7, etc.), or ζεῦγος, zeúgos (Luk 14:19).

Poor Hebrew word is Aniyim, no money, financial means for daily livelihood and having basic need. Poor in spiritual sense one lack of knowledge of Elohim (אלהים), lack of sense of directions. Yeshayahu 61:1
11:6 Happy is he who is not offended because of Me. What sort expectation of the Moshiach? Man tends to look for a colorful military might however was disappointed to know that the Moshiach the expected was just a humble, carpenter. Hashem's blessing would rest on those who, by spiritual insight, recognised Yehoshua (יהושע)of Nazaret as the promised Moshiach. To Yochanan is message of strengthening and affiMattitYahuion
