Matthew 11:2-10

21NowG1161 while in prisonG1201, 2JohnG2491 heardG191 about the worksG2041 of ChristG5547, and he sentG3992 word by his disciplesG3101, 3and saidG3004 to Him, “Are You 3the ComingG2064 One, orG2228 are we to 4lookG4328 forG4328 someoneG2087 elseG2087?” 4JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “GoG4198 and reportG518 to JohnG2491 whatG3739 you hearG191 and seeG991: 55those who are blindG5185 receiveG308 sightG308 and those who limpG5560 walkG4043, those withG3015 leprosyG3015 are cleansedG2511 and those who are deafG2974 hearG191, the deadG3498 are raisedG1453, and the 6poorG4434 have the 7gospelG2097 preachedG2097 to them. 6And blessedG3107 is 8anyG1437 person whoG3739 9does not 10takeG4624 offenseG4624 at Me.”

7As theseG3778 disciples of John were goingG4198 away, JesusG2424 beganG757 speakingG3004 to the crowdsG3793 aboutG4012 JohnG2491: “WhatG5101 did you goG1831 outG1831 into 11the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 by the windG417? 812But whatG5101 did you goG1831 outG1831 to seeG3708? A manG444 dressedG294 in softG3120 clothing? ThoseG3588 who wearG5409 softG3120 clothing are in kings’G935 13palacesG3624! 914But whatG5101 did you goG1831 outG1831 to seeG3708? 15A prophetG4396? YesG3483, I tellG3004 you, and one who is moreG4053 than a prophetG4396. 10ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it 16is writtenG1125: ‘17BeholdG2400, I am sendingG649 My messengerG32 18aheadG4253 of You, WhoG3739 will prepareG2680 Your wayG3598 beforeG1715 You.’
