noyes - Luke:7:18-35

noyes@Luke:7:18 @ And the disciples of John told him all these things.

noyes@Luke:7:19 @ And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?

noyes@Luke:7:20 @ And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?

noyes@Luke:7:21 @ In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.

noyes@Luke:7:22 @ And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;

noyes@Luke:7:23 @ and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.

noyes@Luke:7:24 @ And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind?

noyes@Luke:7:25 @ But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings palaces.

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

noyes@Luke:7:27 @ This is he of whom it is written, "Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee."

noyes@Luke:7:28 @ I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

noyes@Luke:7:29 @ And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized with the baptism of John.

noyes@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.

noyes@Luke:7:31 @ To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?

noyes@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep.

noyes@Luke:7:33 @ For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.

noyes@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of man hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

noyes@Luke:7:35 @ But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
