Luke 7:19-28

19And after summoningG4341 1twoG1417 of his disciplesG3101, JohnG2491 sentG3992 them to 2the LordG2962, sayingG3004, “Are You the ComingG2064 OneG2064, orG2228 are we to 3lookG4328 forG4328 anotherG243?” 20When the menG435 cameG3854 to Him, they saidG3004, “JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 has sentG649 us to You, 4to askG3004, ‘Are You the ComingG2064 OneG2064, orG2228 are we to 5lookG4328 forG4328 anotherG243?’” 21At that very 6timeG5610 He 7curedG2323 manyG4183 people of diseasesG3554 and 8afflictionsG3148 and evilG4190 spiritsG4151; and He gaveG5483 sightG991 to manyG4183 who were blindG5185. 22And He answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “GoG4198 and reportG518 to JohnG2491 whatG3739 you have seenG3708 and heardG191: peopleG5185 whoG5185 wereG5185 9blindG5185 receiveG308 sightG308, peopleG5560 who limpedG5560 walkG4043, peopleG3015 withG3015 leprosyG3015 are cleansedG2511 and peopleG2974 who were deafG2974 hearG191, deadG3498 peopleG3498 are raisedG1453 upG1453, and 10peopleG4434 whoG4434 areG4434 poorG4434 have the gospelG2097 preachedG2097 to them. 23And blessedG3107 is 11anyoneG3739G1437 whoG3739G1437 does not takeG4624 offenseG4624 at Me.”

24When the messengersG32 of JohnG2491 had leftG565, He beganG757 to speakG3004 to the crowdsG3793 aboutG4012 JohnG2491: “WhatG5101 did you goG1831 outG1831 into the 12wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 by the windG417? 2513But whatG5101 did you goG1831 outG1831 to seeG3708? A manG444 dressedG294 in softG3120 clothingG2440? ThoseG3588 who are splendidlyG1741 clothedG2441 and liveG5225 in luxuryG5172 are found in royalG933 palacesG933! 26But whatG5101 did you goG1831 outG1831 to seeG3708? A prophetG4396? YesG3483, I tellG3004 you, and one who is moreG4053 than a prophetG4396. 27ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125: ‘14BeholdG2400, I am sendingG649 My messengerG32 15aheadG4253 of You, WhoG3739 will prepareG2680 Your wayG3598 beforeG1715 You.’ 28I sayG3004 to you, amongG1722 those bornG1084 of womenG1135 there is noG3762 oneG3762 greaterG3173 than JohnG2491; yetG1161 the one who is 16leastG3398 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is greaterG3173 than he.”
