Matthew 11:1-11

11When Jesus had finished 2giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He went on from there 3to teach and 4preach in their cities.

25Now while in prison, 6John heard about the works of Christ, and he sent word by his disciples, 3and said to Him, “Are You 7the Coming One, or are we to 8look for someone else?” 4Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: 59those who are blind receive sight and those who limp walk, those with leprosy are cleansed and those who are deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the 10poor have the 11gospel preached to them. 6And blessed is 12any person who 13does not 14take offense at Me.”

7As these disciples of John were going away, Jesus began speaking to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into 15the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 816But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ 17palaces! 918But what did you go out to see? 19A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet. 10This is the one about whom it 20is written: ‘21Behold, I am sending My messenger 22ahead of You, Who will prepare Your way before You.’ 11Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
