17This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding region. 18John’s disciples told him about all these things. Then John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?” 20The men came to Jesus and said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you, ‘Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?’ ” 21At that time Jesus was curing many people who had diseases, sicknesses, and evil spirits. Also, he was giving back sight to many who were blind.
