Matthew 11:1-8 ▼

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

2 Now when John had heard in the prison of the works of the Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

3 and said to him: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you hear and see.

5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them;

6 and blessed is he that shall find in me no cause of offense.

7 As these were going away, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings houses.
