Matthieu 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 ) .

Matthieu 11:4 In-Context

2 Or, Jean, ayant entendu parler dans la prison de ce que le Christ faisait, envoya deux de ses disciples pour lui dire

3 Es-tu celui qui doit venir, ou devons-nous en attendre un autre?

4 Et Jésus, répondant, leur dit: Allez, et rapportez à Jean les choses que vous entendez et que vous voyez:

5 Les aveugles recouvrent la vue, les boiteux marchent, les lépreux sont nettoyés, les sourds entendent, les morts ressuscitent, et l'évangile est annoncé aux pauvres.

6 Heureux est celui qui ne se scandalisera pas de moi.
