Matthew 11:1-8 ▼

1 When Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples, he moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.

2 Now when John heard in prison what the Christ was doing, he sent a message through his disciples

3 and asked him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else? ”

4 Jesus replied to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see:

5 The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news,

6 and blessed is the one who isn’t offended by me.”

7 As these men were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

8 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? See, those who wear soft clothes are in royal palaces.
