in the mean time John having heard in his confinement of the actions of Christ, he sent two of his disciples to ask him, art thou he that was to come, or must we expect another? Jesus answered them, go and relate to John, what you hear and what you see: read more.
the blind recover their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. and happy is he who does not stumble at my appearance. As they departed, Jesus said to the people, speaking of John, what did ye go to see in the desert? a reed shaken with the wind? what did ye go to see? a man dress'd in rich apparel? why, they that are so array'd belong to the court: or did you go to see a prophet? yes, and be assured, one superiour to a prophet. for it is he that is meant in that passage, "behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee." I declare unto you, among the whole race of prophets, there never appear'd a greater than John the Baptist: (notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of the Messiah is greater than he.) for ever since the appearance of John the Baptist the gospel kingdom is as it were invaded, and people of the most violent passions enter into it with zeal. for all the prophets and the law were your guides, till the coming of John. and if ye will believe me, he is the Elias that was to come. he that hath ears to hear, let him hear. but to what shall I compare this generation? they are like children sitting in the markets, and calling out to their fellows, "if we play a merry tune, you are not for dancing; if we act a mournful part, you are not in the humour." so John came with fasting and abstinence, and they say, he is mad. the son of man does not abstain from eating and drinking, and they cry there's a glutton, and a sot, a friend of publicans and sinners: "but wisdom is justified by her children."

John was soon inform'd of these transactions by his disciples, and sent two of them to Jesus, with this question, are you the Messiah, or must we yet wait for some other? accordingly they came to Jesus, and said, John the Baptist sent us to enquire, if you are he that was to come, or must we look for another? read more.
at that very time, he cured several of their diseases and distempers, dispossessing evil spirits, and restoring sight to many that were blind. then he gave them this answer, go, and tell John what you have seen, and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the gospel is proclaim'd to the poor. and blessed is he, who does not make me the occasion of his fall. When the messengers of John were departed, he address'd himself to the people, and said with relation to John, what did you go to see in the desart? a reed shaken with the wind? or did you go to see a man richly apparelled? for magnificent dress and splendid living, you must look into the courts of princes. what then did you go to see? a prophet? yes, I say it, and more than a prophet. he it is, of whom it is written, "behold, I send my messenger before you, who shall prepare the way for you." I declare unto you, among the whole race of mankind, there is not a prophet, who is superiour to John the Baptist: yet he that is most inferiour in the kingdom of the Messiah, is greater than he. all the people, even the publicans, upon hearing him, gave glory to God, by receiving the baptism of John; but the Pharisees and the doctors of the law rejected the divine offers made to them, refusing to be baptized by John. To what therefore shall I compare the men of this generation? who are they like? they are like children playing together in the street, who cry, we have play'd to you on the flute, but you have not danced: we have sung mournful dittys, but you have not lamented. for John the Baptist, when he came, abstain'd from bread and wine; yet you say, he is possess'd with a demon. the son of man appears indifferent to any kind of meat or drink: yet you say, he is a glutton and a tipler, a friend of publicans and loose people. "but wisdom is justified by all her different followers."
