ylt @Luke:7:18 @And the disciples of John told him about all these things , ylt @Luke:7:19 @and John having called near a certain two of his disciples , sent unto Jesus , saying , 'Art thou he who is coming , or for another do we look ?' ylt @Luke:7:20 @And having come near to him , the men said , 'John the Baptist sent us unto thee , saying , Art thou he who is coming , or for another do we look ?' ylt @Luke:7:21 @And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses , and plagues , and evil spirits , and to many blind he granted sight . ylt @Luke:7:22 @And Jesus answering said to them , 'Having gone on , report to John what ye saw and heard , that blind men do see again , lame do walk , lepers are cleansed , deaf do hear , dead are raised , poor have good news proclaimed ; ylt @Luke:7:23 @and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me .' ylt @Luke:7:24 @And the messengers of John having gone away , he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John : 'What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on ? a reed by the wind shaken ? ylt @Luke:7:25 @but what have ye gone forth to see ? a man in soft garments clothed ? lo , they in splendid apparellings , and living in luxury , are in the houses of kings ! ylt @Luke:7:26 @'But what have ye gone forth to see ? a prophet ? Yes , I say to you , and much more than a prophet : ylt @Luke:7:27 @this is he concerning whom it hath been written , Lo , I send my messenger before thy face , who shall prepare thy way before thee ; ylt @Luke:7:28 @for I say to you , a greater prophet , among those born of women , than John the Baptist there is not ; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he .' ylt @Luke:7:29 @And all the people having heard , and the tax-gatherers , declared God righteous , having been baptized with the baptism of John , ylt @Luke:7:30 @but the Pharisees , and the lawyers , the counsel of God did put away for themselves , not having been baptized by him . ylt @Luke:7:31 @And the Lord said , 'To what , then , shall I liken the men of this generation ? and to what are they like ? ylt @Luke:7:32 @they are like to children , to those sitting in a market-place , and calling one to another , and saying , We piped to you , and ye did not dance , we mourned to you , and ye did not weep ! ylt @Luke:7:33 @'For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine , and ye say , He hath a demon ; ylt @Luke:7:34 @the Son of Man came eating and drinking , and ye say , Lo , a man , a glutton , and a wine drinker , a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners ; ylt @Luke:7:35 @and the wisdom was justified from all her children .'
