Matthew 11:1-8 ▼

1 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed instructing his twelve disciples, he went away from there in order to teach and to preach in their cities.

2 Now when John had heard, in prison, about the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples, he said to him,

3 “Are you he who is to come, or should we expect another?”

4 And Jesus, responding, said to them: “Go and report to John what you have heard and seen.

5 The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor are evangelized.

6 And blessed is he who has found no offense in me.”

7 Then, after they departed, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

8 So what did you go out to see? A man in soft garments? Behold, those who are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of kings.
