Luke 7:19-30

¹⁹And John called twain of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said, Art thou he that is to come, or abide we another?

²⁰And when the men came to him, they said, John Baptist sent us to thee, and said, Art thou he that is to come, or we abide another?

²¹And in that hour he healed many men of their sicknesses, and wounds, and of evil spirits; and he gave sight to many blind men.

²²And Jesus answered, and said to them, Go ye again, and tell ye to John those things that ye have heard and seen; blind men see, crooked men go, mesels be made clean, deaf men hear, dead men rise again, poor men be taken to preaching of the gospel.

²³And he that shall not be caused to stumble in me, is blessed.

²⁴And when the messengers of John were gone forth or had gone away, he began to say of John to the people, What went ye out into desert to see? a reed wagged or waved with the wind?

²⁵But what went ye out to see? a man clothed with soft clothes? Lo! they that be in a precious cloth, and in delights, be in kings’ houses.

²⁶But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

²⁷This is he, of whom it is written, Lo! I send mine angel before thy face, which shall make ready thy way before thee.

²⁸Certainly I say to you, there is no man a more prophet among the children of women, than is John Baptist, or among the children of women, no man is more prophet than John Baptist; but he that is less in the kingdom of heavens, is more than he.

²⁹And all the people hearing, and publicans, that had been baptized with the baptism of John, justified God;

³⁰but the Pharisees and the wise men of the law, that were not baptized of him, despised the counsel of God against themselves.
