1
It happened that when Yeshua had finished directing his twelve talmidim, he departed there to teach and preach in their cities.
2
Now when Yochanan heard in the prison the works of Messiah, he sent two of his talmidim
3
and said to him, "Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?"
4
Yeshua answered them, "Go and tell Yochanan the things which you hear and see:
5
the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
6
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me."
7
As these went their way, Yeshua began to say to the multitudes concerning Yochanan, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8
But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king's houses.
9
But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
10
For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.'
