Matthew 11:2–15

2When John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples 3
and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” 4And Jesus
answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see:

5 the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear,
and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
6 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”

7As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go
out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8What then did you go out to see? A
man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. 9What
then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10This is he of
whom it is written, “‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

11Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the
Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12From the days of
John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it
by force. 13For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, 14and if you are willing to
accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
