A Question From John The Baptist

22 He answered John's disciples: Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard. The blind receive their sight! The lame walk and lepers are cleansed. The deaf hear! The dead are raised up and the poor have good news preached to them. 23 Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me.” 24 After John's disciples departed he told the crowd about John: What did you go into the wilderness to find? Was it a reed shaken with the wind?
