Matthew 11:1-11

1 And it came to pass , when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of 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 shew John again those things which ye do 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, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

7 And as they departed , Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see ? A reed shaken with the wind?

8 But what went ye out for to see ? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold , they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

9 But what went ye out for to see ? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

10 For this is he, of whom it is written , Behold , I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
