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? (or Art thou he who is to come, or do we wait for another?)

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

²¹And in that hour he healed many men of their sicknesses, and wounds, and of evil spirits (or and from 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, (or the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers be cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor be taken to the preaching of the Gospel or the Good News).

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

²⁴And when the messengers of John were gone forth, he began to say of John to the people, What went ye out into (the) desert to see? a reed wagged with the wind? And when the messengers of John had gone away, he began to say of John to the companies, What went ye out into (the) desert to see? a reed 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, (or Behold! those who wear expensive clothing), and (be) 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 (the) Baptist, or Soothly I say to you, among the children of women, no man is (a) more prophet (or is a greater prophet) than John (the) Baptist; but he that is less in the kingdom of heavens, is more than he. (Truly I say to you, or I tell you the truth, no man is a greater prophet among the children of women, than is John the Baptist; but whoever is the least in the Kingdom of Heaven, is greater than he.)

²⁹And all the people hearing, and publicans (or and tax-collectors), 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. (but the Pharisees and the men wise in the Law, who were not baptized by him, rejected God’s plan or purpose for themselves.)
