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.  
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.  
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected athe will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.  
31 And the Lord said, a“To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like?  
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying:
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not weep.’
33 For aJohn the Baptist came bneither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’  
34 The Son of Man has come aeating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a1 winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’  
35 aBut wisdom is justified by all her children.”  

A Sinful Woman Forgiven

36 aThen one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat.  
37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
