John the Baptist Questions Jesus' Identity
Luke 7:19-30
19
So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
20
And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
21
And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.
22
And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
23
And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
24
And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
25
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.
26
But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
27
This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28
For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.
29
Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.
30
But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
