2 And when Iohn heard in the prison the woorkes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and sayde vnto him,
3 Art thou he that shoulde come, or shall we looke for another?
4 And Iesus answering, said vnto them, Goe, and shewe Iohn, what things ye heare, and see.
5 The blinde receiue sight, and the halt doe walke: the lepers are clensed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
6 And blessed is he that shall not be offeded in me.
7 And as they departed, Iesus beganne to speake vnto the multitude, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
8 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that weare soft clothing, are in Kings houses.
9 But what went ye out to see? A Prophet? Yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet.
10 For this is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verely I say vnto you, among them which are begotten of women, arose there not a greater then Iohn Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is the least in the kingdome of heauen, is greater then he.
12 And from the time of Iohn Baptist hitherto, the kingdome of heauen suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the Prophetes and the Lawe prophecied vnto Iohn.
14 And if ye will receiue it, this is that Elias, which was to come.
15 He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like vnto litle children which sit in the markets, and call vnto their fellowes,
17 And say, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced, we haue mourned vnto you, and ye haue not lamented.
18 For Iohn came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a deuill.
