Matt. 11:1–12:50 Opposition to the Messiah Emerges. Resistance to Jesus' ministry has appeared occasionally (e.g., 9:3–4) but now begins to build significantly, occasioned first by the innocuous questions of John the Baptist (11:2–19), then through the overt hostility of the Jewish religious leaders (12:1–45).

Matt. 11:1–30 Jesus, John the Baptist, and Ministry in Galilee. Jesus responds to John the Baptist's questions (vv. 2–6) with a mild rebuke and a glowing tribute (vv. 7–19). He then speaks words of judgment on the unrepentant (vv. 20–24) and words of invitation to those who would find their rest in him (vv. 25–30).
