Matthew 11:1-11 ▼

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished directing His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.

2 And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,

3 said to Him, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”

4 And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone, declare to John the things that you hear and see,

5 blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,

6 and blessed is he who may not be stumbled in Me.”

7 And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out to the wilderness to view? A reed shaken by the wind?

8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those wearing the soft things are in the kings’ houses.

9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,

10 for this is he of whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.

11 Truly I say to you, there has not risen, among those born of women, [one] greater than John the Immerser, but he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
