17And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country. 18The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?" 20And when the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?'" 21In that hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he bestowed sight.
