John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus
18 aThen the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.
19 And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to1 Jesus, saying, “Are You athe Coming One, or do we look for another?”
20 When the men had come to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?’ ”
21 And that very hour He cured many of1 infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.
22 aJesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: bthat the blind csee, the lame dwalk, the lepers are ecleansed, the deaf fhear, the dead are raised, gthe poor have the gospel preached to them.
24 aWhen the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings’ courts.
