Luke 7:19-23

Listen to Luke 7:19-23
19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, ā€œAre you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?ā€
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, ā€œJohn the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ā€˜Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’ ā€
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind.
22 So he replied to the messengers, ā€œGo back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.
23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.ā€
