1
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished giving commandments to his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3
and said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John those things which you hear and see:
5
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6
And blessed is he who is not offended in me.
7
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those that wear soft
clothing are in kings’ houses.
