Compare all
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.’

Matthew 11:5

And the dead are raised up (kai nekroi egeirontai). Like that of the son of the widow of Nain. Did he raise the dead also on this occasion? "Tell John your story over again and remind him of these prophetic texts, Isaiah 35:5; Isaiah 61:1" (Bruce). The items were convincing enough and clearer than mere eschatological symbolism. "The poor" in particular have the gospel, a climax.
