And John, having heard in the prison of the works of Christ, sent by his disciples,

And his disciples came and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?

And they said to him, The disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.

And the disciples of John told him all these things.

Then there arose a question on the part of Johns disciples with a Jew about purifying.


And John, having heard in the prison of the works of Christ, sent by his disciples, and said to him, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another? And Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye hear and see. read more.
The blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and to the poor good tidings are brought; and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me. And, as these were going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind? But why did ye go out? to see a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they that wear soft clothing are in kings houses. But why did ye go out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written: "Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee." Truly do I say to you, Among those born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist. But he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent seize upon it. For all the Prophets and the Law, until John, prophesied. And if ye are willing to receive it, he is the Elijah who was to come. He that hath ears, let him hear. But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, who call to their fellows, and say, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not lament. For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say, He hath a demon. The Son of man came eating and drinking; and they say, Behold, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified by her works.

And the disciples of John told him all these things. And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another? And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another? read more.
In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight. And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought; and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me. And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind? But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings palaces. But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, "Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee." I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him. To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep. For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon. The Son of man hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
