emtv - Luke:7:18-35

emtv@Luke:7:18 @ Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.

emtv@Luke:7:19 @ And summoning two of his disciples, John sent [them] to Jesus, saying, "Are You the Coming [One], or do we look for another?"

emtv@Luke:7:20 @ And when they came to Him, the men said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, 'Are You the Coming [One], or do we look for another?' "

emtv@Luke:7:21 @ And in that very hour He healed many from diseases, and torments, and evil spirits; and to many blind [people] He granted sight.

emtv@Luke:7:22 @ Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: that the blind regain sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor are evangelized.

emtv@Luke:7:23 @ And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."

emtv@Luke:7:24 @ Now when John's messengers had departed, He began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What have you gone out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

emtv@Luke:7:25 @ But what have you gone out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in royal [palaces].

emtv@Luke:7:26 @ But what have you gone out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

emtv@Luke:7:27 @ This is he about whom it is written: 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.'

emtv@Luke:7:28 @ "For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater [than] he."

emtv@Luke:7:29 @ And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

emtv@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God for themselves, because they had not been baptized by him.

emtv@Luke:7:31 @ "Therefore to what shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?

emtv@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we mourned for you, and you did not weep.'

emtv@Luke:7:33 @ "For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.'

emtv@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

emtv@Luke:7:35 @ And so wisdom is justified by all her children."
