And John hearing in the prison the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples, said to Him, Art thou He who is coming, or must we expect another? Jesus responding said to them, Having gone, proclaim unto John the things which you hear and see. read more.
The blind are looking up, and the lame are walking about, the lepers are being cleansed, and the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised, and the poor are having the gospel preached unto them: and blessed is he, whosoever may not be offended in me. And they departing, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went you out in the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind? But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold those wearing soft raiment are in the houses of the kings. But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet: for this is he, concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before my face, who will prepare thy way before thee. Truly I say unto you, Among those having been born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: nevertheless the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John. And if you wish to receive it, he is Elijah, who is to come. Let the one having ears to hear, hear. But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-place, and calling to their comrades, and saying, We piped unto you, and you did not dance; we mourned unto you, and you did not lament. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous and wine-drinking man, a friend of publicans and sinners. Wisdom is truly justified by her children.

And His disciples proclaimed to John concerning all these things. And John calling certain two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou the one coming, or must we expect another? And the men having come to Him, said; John the Baptist sent us to thee, saving; Art thou the one coming, or must we expect another? read more.
And at that hour He healed many of their diseases and ailments and evil spirits; and He conferred on many blind people the power to see. And Jesus responding said to them, Having gone, proclaim to John those things which you saw and heard; that the blind are seeing, the lame are walking about, the lepers are being cleansed, the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, the poor are having the gospel preached unto them; and happy is he whosoever may not be offended in me. And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind? But what went you out into the wilderness to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold those who are in gaudy apparel and luxury, are in royal palaces. But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, and I say unto you even more than a prophet. This is he concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee. I say unto you, among those having been born of women no prophet is greater than John the Baptist; nevertheless the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people hearing and the publicans justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees and theologians rejected the counsel of God, against themselves, not having been baptized by him. Then to whom shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like? They are like unto little children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, We piped unto you, and you did not dance; we mourned unto you, and you did not weep. For John the Baptist has come 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 wine-drinking man, a friend of publicans and sinners. Truly wisdom is justified by her children.

And the Pharisees seeing, said to His disciples, Wherefore does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?

But if he may not hear them, tell the church: and if indeed he may not hear the church, let him be to thee as a heathen and publican.

Which one of the two did the will of the father? They say to Him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say unto you, that the publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

The Pharisee standing was praying in these words, God, I thank thee because I am not like the rest of the men, extortioners, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican:

For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same. If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing?



For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the publicans and harlots believed him, and you, seeing, did not afterward regret it, in order that you might believe him.
