Yohan checks out the messiah

7:18 Yohan checks out the messiah

(Mat. 11:2-19)

18The apprentices of Yohan-the-Immerser reported all these things back to him and he choose two of his apprentices 19and sent them to Yeshua to ask, “Are you the promised one, or should we wait for someone else?”

20So when they got to Yeshua, the two men told him, “Yohan-the-Immerser sent us here to ask you if you’re the promised one, or should we wait for someone else?”

21While they were still there, he healed many people from their diseases and difficulties, as well as evil spirits and some blind people being able to see again, 22[ref]so then he answered them, “Go and tell Yohan everything that you’ve seen and heard here: how blind people can see again, lame people are walking now, people with leprosy are clear, some dead have come back to life, and the good message is being preached to the poor. 23God will bless those who don’t misjudge me.

24When Yohan’s messengers had left, Yeshua started asking the crowds about Yohan, “What did you all go out into the wilderness to see? A reed waving in the wind? 25Yes, but what did you all go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Well, those in nice clothes and living in luxury are in fine homes. 26So what was it that you went out to see? A prophet? Yes, I’ll tell you that he is more important than any old prophet. 27[ref]He is the one that was written about: ‘See, I’m sending my messenger ahead of you and he will prepare your path before you get there.’ 28I’m telling all of you, no one who’s been born from a woman is greater than Yohan, yet the lowest person in God’s kingdom is greater than him.

29[ref](When all the people and the tax-collectors that had been immersed by Yohan heard that, they concurred that God’s way is fair, 30however the Pharisees and the lawyers who had not been immersed by him, they rejected God’s plan for them.)

31So what can I compare this generation with?” asked Yeshua. “Who are they similar to? 32They’re like little children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other, ‘We played the flute for you all but you didn’t dance, then we played a sad song but you all didn’t weep.’ 33Because Yohan-the-Immerser came and he didn’t eat bread or drink wine, so you all said that he has a demon. 34Then humanity’s child came and ate and drank and you all said, ‘Look, he’s a glutton and a drunkard—a friend of tax-collectors and those who disobey God.’ 35But wisdom is justified by all her children.
