Matthew 11:1-10 ⓘ

11:1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

11:2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

11:3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”

11:4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

11:5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

11:6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

11:7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

11:8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

11:9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
