"the lame are walking, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, and the gospel is being preached to the poor. "And blessed is the man who finds no cause of stumbling in me." As these men started to go away, Jesus began to speak to the throngs, about John. "What did you go out into the desert to behold?" he asked; "A reed shaken by the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft raiment dwell in kings' palaces! "But why did you go? To see a prophet? I tell you, yes, and more than a prophet; "for this is he of whom it is written. "Behold, I send my messenger before my face, And he will prepare thy road for thee. "In solemn truth I tell you that there has not arisen among those born of women a greater than John the Baptist; yet one of the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by storm. "For the prophets and the Law prophesied until John; "and, if you are willing to receive it, he is the Elijah who was to come. "Let all who have ears, listen! "To what shall I compare this generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-place, who call to the other children, "saying. 'We have piped to you and you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not beaten your breasts.' "For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, 'He has a demon'; and the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Lo, a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners!' Nevertheless, Wisdom is justified by her deeds."
