Luke 7:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 7:24

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.

26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

27 This is he of whom it is written:
^a‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’

28 For I say to you, among those born of women there is¹ not a ^agreater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29 And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors¹ justified God, ^ahaving been baptized with the baptism of John.
