Messengers from John the Baptist
18 1 2The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John,
19
calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one
3who is to come, or
4shall we look for another? ”
20
And when the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one
5who is to come, or
6shall we look for another? ’”
21
In that hour
7he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and
8on many who were blind he bestowed sight.
22
And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard:
9the blind receive their sight, the lame walk,
10lepers are cleansed, and
11the deaf hear,
12the dead are raised up,
13the poor have good news preached to them.
23
And blessed is the one who is
14not offended by me. ”
