Luke 7:19-28

19Summoning 1two of his disciples, John sent them to 2the Lord, saying, “Are You the 3Expected One, or do we look for someone else?” 20When the men came to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, ‘Are You the 4Expected One, or do we look for someone else?’” 21At that 5very time He 6cured many people of diseases and 7afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind. 22And He answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the 8blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the 9poor have the gospel preached to them. 23Blessed is he 10who does not take offense at Me.”

24When the messengers of John had left, He began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 2511But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft 12clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces! 26But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet. 27This is the one about whom it is written, ‘13Behold, I send My messenger 14ahead of You, Who will prepare Your way before You.’ 28I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is 15least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
