John’s Inquiry

(Matthew 11:1–6)

18 Then [John’s] disciples informed [him] about all these things. 19 So John called two of his disciples [and] sent [them] to ask Jesus,[fn] “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

20 [When] the men came to [Jesus], they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’ ”

21 Now[fn] at that very hour [Jesus] healed many [people] of [their] diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many [who were] blind. 22 So Jesus replied,[fn] “Go [back] [and] report to John what you have seen and heard: [The] blind receive sight, [the] lame walk, [the] lepers[fn] are cleansed, [the] deaf hear, [the] dead are raised, [and the] good news is preached [to the] poor. 23 Blessed is the [one who] does not fall away on account of Me.[fn]”
