17This report concerning Him spread throughout all Judea and the surrounding region. 18John’s disciples reported to him about all these things. Calling two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the One who is to come, or should we look for another?” 20When they appeared before Him, the men said, “John the Immerser sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the One who is to come, or shall we look for another?’” 21At this very hour He was healing many of diseases, sicknesses, and evil spirits; and He granted sight to many who were blind.
