Jesus Christ » History of » Receives the message from john the baptist (in galilee)
Now when John had heard in the prison of the works of the Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said to him: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another? And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you hear and see. read more.
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them; and blessed is he that shall find in me no cause of offense. As these were going away, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings houses. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. Verily, I say to you, Among those born of women, there has not risen a greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Immerser till now, the kingdom of heaven is taken by violence, and men of violence seize upon it eagerly. For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John; and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah that was to come. He that has ears to hear, let him hear. But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their companions, and saying: "We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have wailed for you, and you have not lamented. For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a demon. The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say: Behold, a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. Yet wisdom is vindicated by her children.

And the disciples of John told him of all these things. And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?

And in that very hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and bestowed sight on many that were blind. And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you have seen and heard; that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them; and blessed is he who shall find no cause of offense in me. And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way be fore thee. For I say to you, Among those born of women, there is no prophet greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, vindicated God, by being immersed with the immersion of John; but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him. To what, then, shall I compare the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like children sitting in the market-place, who call to one another, and say, We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have sung mournful songs for you, and you have not lamented. For John the Immerser came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon. The Son of man has come, eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.
