Matthew 11:2-10
21NowG1161 when 2JohnG2491, 3whileG1722 imprisonedG1201, heardG191 of the worksG2041 of ChristG5547, he sentG3992 word by his disciplesG3101 3and saidG3004 to Him, “Are You 4the 5ExpectedG2064 One, orG2228 shall we lookG4328 for someoneG2087 elseG2087?” 4JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “GoG4198 and reportG518 to JohnG2491 whatG3739 you hearG191 and seeG991: 56the blindG5185 receiveG308 sightG308 and the lameG5560 walkG4043, the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511 and the deafG2974 hearG191, the deadG3498 are raisedG1453 up, and the 7poorG4434 have the 8gospelG2097 preachedG2097 to them. 6And blessedG3107 is he 9whoG3739 10does not 11takeG4624 offenseG4624 at Me.”
7As theseG3778 men were goingG4198 away, JesusG2424 beganG757 to speakG3004 to the crowdsG3793 aboutG4012 JohnG2491, “WhatG5101 did you goG1831 out into 12the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 by the windG417? 813But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? A manG444 dressedG294 in softG3120 clothing? ThoseG3588 who wearG5409 softG3120 clothing are in kings’G935 14palacesG3624! 915But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? 16A prophetG4396? YesG3483, I tellG3004 you, and one who is moreG4053 than a prophetG4396. 10ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it 17is writtenG1125, ‘18BeholdG2400, I sendG649 My messengerG32 19ahead of You, WhoG3739 will prepareG2680 Your wayG3598 beforeG1715 You.’
