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.  
23 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”  
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.

Luke 7:21

Infirmities and plagues - The following judicious note from Bp. Pearce is worthy of deep attention: "Luke mentions here , Ϛ , leprosias , and , i.e. diseases or ill habits of body, sores or lamenesses, and evil spirits: from whence we may conclude that evil spirits are reckoned by him (who speaks of distempers with more accuracy than the other evangelists) as things different from any disorders of the body, included in the two former words."

Unto many that were blind he gave light - Rather, he kindly gave sight - ; or, he graciously gave sight. This is the proper meaning of the original words. In all his miracles, Jesus showed the tenderest mercy and kindness: not only the cure, but the manner in which he performed it, endeared him to those who were objects of his compassionate regards.
