Context of Luke 7:19

17And this report about Him spread throughout Judea and in all the surrounding region. 18The disciples of John also reported to him about all these things. And after summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or are we to look for another?” 20When the men came to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, ‘Are You the Coming One, or are we to look for another?’” 21At that very time He cured many people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind.
