Matthew 11:1-8 ▼

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

2 Now when John heard in prison about the deeds Christ had done, he sent his disciples to ask a question:

3 Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?|

4 Jesus answered them, |Go tell John what you hear and see:

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

6 Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.|

7 While they were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: |What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

8 What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? Look, those who wear fancy clothes are in the homes of kings!
