Luke 7:18–28

¹⁸And John’s disciples told him of all these things.

¹⁹And John called to him two of his disciples and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another?

²⁰And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another?

²¹(And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases and hurts and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.)

²²And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached.

²³And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.

²⁴And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

²⁵But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately are in the houses of kings.

²⁶But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

²⁷This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

²⁸For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
