3and said to Yeshua, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” 4Yeshua replied, “Go report to John what you hear and see: the blind see and the lame walk, those with tza'arat are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised and the poor have good news proclaimed to them. 6Blessed is the one who is not led to stumble because of Me.” 7Now as they were leaving, Yeshua began to talk to the crowd concerning John. “What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

Commentaries on Matthew 11:5

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5The blind receive their sight, etc. - , look upwards, contemplating the heavens which their Lord hath made. The lame walk - , they walk about; to give the fullest proof to the multitude that their cure was real.

Sinners are blind; their understanding is so darkened by sin that they…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 2-6Verses 2-6 Some think that John sent this inquiry for his own satisfaction. Where there is true faith, yet there may be a mixture of unbelief.
