Luke 7:19-30

¹⁹So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?

²⁰And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?

²¹And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.

²²And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.

²³And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.

²⁴And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?

²⁵But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.

²⁶But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.

²⁷This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

²⁸For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.

²⁹Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.

³⁰But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
