Luke 7:19-28
19And after summoning 1two of his disciples, John sent them to 2the Lord, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or are we to 3look for another?” 20When the men came to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, 4to ask, ‘Are You the Coming One, or are we to 5look for another?’” 21At that very 6time He 7cured many people of diseases and 8afflictions 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: people who were 9blind receive sight, people who limped walk, people with leprosy are cleansed and people who were deaf hear, dead people are raised up, and 10people who are poor have the gospel preached to them. 23And blessed is 11anyone who 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 12wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 2513But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? 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 tell you, and one who is more than a prophet. 27This is the one about whom it is written: ‘14Behold, I am sending My messenger 15ahead 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 the one who is 16least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
