Matthew 11:1-11 ▼

1 And it came to pass that, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, He departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.

2 And John, having heard, in the prison, of the works of the Christ, sending by his disciples,

3 said to Him, "Art Thou the Coming One, or are we to look for another?"

4 And Jesus, answering, said to them, "Having gone, report to John what ye are hearing and seeing:

5 the blind receive sight, and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor have the Gospel proclaimed to them.

6 And happy is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in Me."

7 And, as these were going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, "What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?

8 But what went ye out to see? a man in soft raiment ; Behold, those wearing soft raiment are in kings' houses.

9 But why did ye go out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

10 This is he of whom it has been written, 'Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee.'

11 "Verily I say to you, there has not arisen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Immerser; yet he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
