Jesus Christ » History of » Receives the message from john the baptist (in galilee)
When John, being in prison, heard the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said unto him, "Art thou he that shall come? or, shall we look for another?" Jesus answered and said unto them, "Go and show John what ye have heard and seen: read more.
The blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are risen again, and the glad tidings is preached to the poor. And blessed is he that is not offended by me." And as they departed, Jesus began to speak unto the people, of John, "What for to see went ye out into the wilderness? Went ye to see a reed shaken in the wind? Other, what went ye out for to see? Went ye to see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. But what went ye out for to see? Went ye out to see a prophet? Yea I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee.' Verily I say unto you, Among the children of women arose there not a greater than John the Baptist: Notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he. From the time of John Baptist, hitherto, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and they that go to it with violence pluck it unto them. For all the prophets and the law prophesied unto the time of John. And also if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which should come. He that hath ears to hear withal, let him hear. "But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children, which sit in the market, and call unto their fellows, and say, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; We have mourned unto you, and ye have not sorrowed. For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say, he hath the devil. The son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a glutton, and drinker of wine, and a friend unto publicans, and sinners. And neverthelater, wisdom is justified of her children."
The blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are risen again, and the glad tidings is preached to the poor. And blessed is he that is not offended by me." And as they departed, Jesus began to speak unto the people, of John, "What for to see went ye out into the wilderness? Went ye to see a reed shaken in the wind? Other, what went ye out for to see?

And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. And John called unto him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus saying, "Art thou he that shall come: or shall we look for another?" When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist sent us unto thee saying, "Art thou he that shall come: or shall we wait for another?" read more.
And at the same time, he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits: and unto many that were blind, he gave sight. And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Go your ways and show John, what things ye have heard and seen: how that the blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead arise: To the poor is the glad tidings preached, and happy is he that is not offended by me." When the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people of John, "What went ye out for to see into the wilderness? Went ye to see a reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea I say to you, and more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, to prepare thy way before thee.' For I say unto you, A greater prophet than John, among women's children, is there none. Nevertheless, one that is less in the kingdom of God, is greater than he." And all the people that heard, and the publicans, justified God and were baptised with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees and scribes despised the counsel of God, against themselves, and were not baptised of him. And the Lord said, "Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation: and what thing are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, 'We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced: We have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.' For John Baptist came unto you neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, 'He hath the devil.' The son of man is come, and eateth and drinketh, and ye say, 'Behold a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.' Yet is wisdom justified of all her children."
And at the same time, he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits: and unto many that were blind, he gave sight.
