Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to 2the Lord, saying, "Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?"
20
When the men came to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, 'Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?' "
21
At that very time He 3cured many people of diseases and 4afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind.
22
And He answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the 5BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the 6POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.
23
"Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."
24
When the messengers of John had left, He began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25
"But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces!
26
"But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet.
27
"This is the one about whom it is written, '7BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.'
28
"I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
29
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged 8God's justice, 9having been baptized with 10the baptism of John.
30
But the Pharisees and the 11lawyers rejected God's purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by John.
31
"To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?
32
"They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.'
33
"For John the Baptist has come 12eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'
34
"The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'
36
Now one of the Pharisees was requesting Him to dine with him, and He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.
37
14And there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume,
38
and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.
