2 And John, having heard, in the prison, of the works of the Christ, sending by his disciples,
3 said to Him, "Art Thou the Coming One, or are we to look for another?"
4 And Jesus, answering, said to them, "Having gone, report to John what ye are hearing and seeing:
5 the blind receive sight, and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor have the Gospel proclaimed to them.
6 And happy is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in Me."
7 And, as these were going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, "What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?
8 But what went ye out to see? a man in soft raiment; Behold, those wearing soft raiment are in kings' houses.
9 But why did ye go out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
10 This is he of whom it has been written, 'Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee.'
11 "Verily I say to you, there has not arisen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Immerser; yet he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the time of John the Immerser until now, the Kingdom of Heaven is taken by storm, and violent men seize upon it;
13 for all the prophets and the law prophesied until John;
14 and, if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is about to come.
15 He that has ears let him hear.
16 "But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who, calling to the others,
17 say, 'We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not lament.'
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
