Context of Luke 7:21
19and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another? 20But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another? In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight. 22And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized; 23and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Commentaries on Luke 7:21
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 21Infirmities and plagues - The following judicious note from Bp. Pearce is worthy of deep attention: "Luke mentions here , Ϛ, leprosias, and , i.e. diseases or ill habits of body, sores or lamenesses, and evil spirits: from whence we may conclude that evil spirits are reckoned by him (who speaks of distempers with more accuracy than the other evangelists) as things different from any disorders of the body, included in the two former words."

He wondered if Jesus was truly the Christ since Jesus did not act like a powerful political king who would defeat the Romans. In response, Jesus defined his role as God's chosen king.Read the comment
