Matthew 11 Intro: John sendeth his disciples to Christ -- Testimony of Christ concerning John.
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou he of whom it is written in the prophets that he should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John again of those things which ye do hear and see;
5 How the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached unto them.
6 And blessed is John, and whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? Was it a reed shaken with the wind? And they answered him, No.
8 And he said, But what went ye out for to see? Was it a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold they that wear soft raiment are in king's houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is the one of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
