Matthew 11:1-8 ▼

1 When Jesus finished giving these commands to his twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.

2 When John heard in prison of the works of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to him

3 with this question, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”

4 Jesus said to them in reply, “Go and tell John what you hear and see:

5 the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.

6 And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.”

7 As they were going off, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind?

8 Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine clothing? Those who wear fine clothing are in royal palaces.
