John Asks a Question
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist sent us to you with this question: 'Are you the One who is to come, or should we wait for someone else?' "
21 At that time, Jesus healed many people of their sicknesses, diseases, and evil spirits, and he gave sight to many blind people.
22 Then Jesus answered John's followers, "Go tell John what you saw and heard here. The blind can see, the crippled can walk, and people with skin diseases are healed. The deaf can hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is preached to the poor.
23 Those who do not stumble in their faith because of me are blessed!"
24 When John's followers left, Jesus began talking to the people about John: "What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed blown by the wind?
25 What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, people who have fine clothes and much wealth live in kings' palaces.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, and I tell you, John is more than a prophet.
27 This was written about him:
'I will send my messenger ahead of you,
Who will prepare the way for you.' — Malachi 3:1
I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
