Luke 7:19-30

¹⁹And Iohn called vnto him .ii. of his disciples and sent the to Iesus sayinge: Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we loke for another?

²⁰When the men were come vnto him they sayde: Iohn baptiste sent vs vnto ye sayinge: Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we wayte for another?

²¹And at the same tyme he cured many of their infirmites and plages and of evyll spretes and vnto many that were blynde he gave sight.

²²And Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: Goo youre wayes and shewe Iohn what thinges ye have sene and harde: how that the blynde se the halt goo the lepers are clensed the deafe heare the deed aryse to the poore is the glad tydinges preached

²³and happy is he that is not offended by me.

²⁴When the messengers of Iohn were departed he began to speake vnto the people of Iohn What wet ye oute into the wildernes for to se? went ye to se arede shaken with the wynde?

²⁵But what went ye out for tose? A man clothed in soofte rayment? Beholde they which are gorgeously apparelled and lyve delicatly are in kynges courtes.

²⁶But what went ye forth to se? A prophete? Ye I saye to you and moare then a prophete.

²⁷This is he of who it is wrytten: Beholde I sende my messenger before thy face to prepare thy waye before the.

²⁸For I saye vnto you: a greater prophete then Iohn amonge wemes chyldre is ther none. Neverthelesse one that is lesse in the kyngdo of god is greater the he.

²⁹And all the people that hearde and the publicans iustified God and were baptised with the baptism of Iohn.

³⁰But the pharises and scribes despised the counsell of god agaynst them selves and were not baptised of him.
