Matthäus 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 11:4

Jesus answered and said unto them
Not by an express declaration, that he was the Messiah that was to come, and they were not to look for any other; but he bids them

go, and show John again, those things which ye do hear and see.
Christ would have them go back to John in prison, and relate to him the doctrines which they had heard preached by him to the poor; and the miracles which they had seen with their own eyes, then wrought by him; as well as many others, which were attested to them by credible witnesses; for there were at that time about Christ, that had infirmities, plagues, and evil spirits, and that were blind, and he instantly cured them in their presence; see ( Luke 7:21 ) .

Matthäus 11:4 In-Context

2 Da aber Johannes im Gefängnis die Werke Christi hörte, sandte er seiner Jünger zwei

3 und ließ ihm sagen: Bist du, der da kommen soll, oder sollen wir eines anderen warten?

4 Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Gehet hin und saget Johannes wieder, was ihr sehet und höret:

5 die Blinden sehen und die Lahmen gehen, die Aussätzigen werden rein und die Tauben hören, die Toten stehen auf und den Armen wird das Evangelium gepredigt;

6 und selig ist, der sich nicht an mir ärgert.
