and asked – “Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for someone else?”
The answer of Jesus to the question was – “Go and report to John what you hear and see –
the blind recover their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are made clean and the deaf hear, the dead, too, are raised to life, and the good news is told to the poor.
Blessed is the person who finds no hindrance in me.”
While John’s disciples were going back, Jesus began to say to the crowds with reference to John,
“What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man richly dressed? Why, those who wear rich things are to be found in the courts of kings!
What, then, did you go for? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
This is the man of whom scripture says – ‘I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.’
I tell you, no one born of a woman has yet appeared who is greater than John the Baptist; and yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
From the time of John the Baptist to this very hour, the kingdom of heaven has been taken by force, and people using force have been seizing it.

We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not mourned.
For, when John came, neither eating nor drinking, people said ‘He has a demon in him’;
and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, they are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts!’ And yet wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
