Mateus 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 ) .

Mateus 11:4 In-Context

2 Ora, quando João no cárcere ouviu falar das obras do Cristo, mandou pelos seus discípulos perguntar-lhe:

3 És tu aquele que havia de vir, ou havemos de esperar outro?

4 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Ide contar a João as coisas que ouvis e vedes:

5 os cegos vêem, e os coxos andam; os leprosos são purificados, e os surdos ouvem; os mortos são ressuscitados, e aos pobres é anunciado o evangelho.

6 E bem-aventurado é aquele que não se escandalizar de mim.
