Matthew 11:1-8 ▼

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

2 And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,

3 said to him, 'Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'

4 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,

5 blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,

6 and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'

7 And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What went ye out to the wilderness to view? -- a reed shaken by the wind?

8 'But what went ye out to see? -- a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses.
