Matthew 11:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 11:5

3 and said to Him, “Are You ^athe Coming One, or do we look for another?”

4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

5 ^aThe blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and ^bthe poor have the gospel preached to them.

6 And blessed is he who is not ^aoffended because of Me.”

7 ^aAs they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? ^bA reed shaken by the wind?

8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, ^aand more than a prophet.

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