Matthew

Matthew 11:1–6

¹After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.^a

²Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples^b ³to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

⁴Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: ⁵The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers^c are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. ⁶Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.^d”
