Matteo 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 ) .

Matteo 11:4 In-Context

2 Or Giovanni, avendo nella prigione udite le opere di Gesù, mandò due dei suoi discepoli, a dirgli:

3 Sei tu colui che ha da venire, o pur ne aspetteremo noi un altro?

4 E Gesù, rispondendo, disse loro: Andate, e rapportate a Giovanni le cose che voi udite, e vedete:

5 I ciechi ricoverano la vista, e gli zoppi camminano; i lebbrosi son mondati, e i sordi odono; i morti risuscitano, e l’evangelo è annunziato a’ poveri.

6 E beato è colui che non si sarà scandalezzato di me.
