MATTHEW
Matthew 11:2-16
2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou he of whom it is written in the prophets that he should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John again of those things which ye do hear and see;
5 How the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached unto them.
6 And blessed is John, and whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? Was it a reed shaken with the wind? And they answered him, No.
8 And he said, But what went ye out for to see? Was it a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold they that wear soft raiment are in king’s houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is the one of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily, I say unto you, Among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater that he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 But the days will come, when the violent shall have no power; for all the prophets and the law prophesied that it should be thus until John.
14 Yea, as many as have prophesied have foretold of these days.
15 And if ye will receive it, verily, he was the Elias, who was for to come and prepare all things.
16 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
LUKE
Luke 7:18-30
18 And the disciples of John showed him of all these things.
19 And John calling two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come, or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who should come, or look we for another?
21 And in the same hour he cured many of infirmities, and plagues, and of evil spirits, and unto many blind he gave sight.
22 Then Jesus, answering, said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and to the poor the gospel is preached;
23 And blessed are they who shall not be offended in me.
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John; What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? Or a man clothed in soft raiment?
25 Behold, they who are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in king’s courts.
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is the one of whom it is written, Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 For I say unto you, Among those who are born of Women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 And all the people who heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees, and lawyers, rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not being baptized of him.
