Context of Luke 7:19

17This report about him went throughout Judea and all the vicinity. 18Then John’s disciples told him about all these things. So John summoned two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord, asking, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” 20When the men reached him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask you, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’” 21At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and he granted sight to many blind people.
