isv Luke:7:18-35
isv@Luke:7:18 @ John's disciples told him about all these things. So John called two of his disciples
isv@Luke:7:19 @ and sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?”
isv@Luke:7:20 @ When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?’”
isv@Luke:7:21 @ At that time Jesus had healed many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits and had given sight to many who were blind.
isv@Luke:7:22 @ So he answered them,“Go and tell John what you have observed and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear again, the dead are raised, and the destitute hear the good news.
isv@Luke:7:23 @ How blessed is anyone who is not offended by me!”
isv@Luke:7:24 @ When John's messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John.“What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
isv@Luke:7:25 @ Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? See, those who wear fine clothes and live in luxury are in royal palaces.
isv@Luke:7:26 @ Really, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
isv@Luke:7:27 @ Thisis the man about whom it is written,‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,who will prepare your way before you.’
isv@Luke:7:28 @ I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John. Yet even the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”
isv@Luke:7:29 @ All the people who heard this, including the tax collectors, acknowledged the justice of God, for they had been baptized with John's baptism.
isv@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and the experts in the law rejected God's plan for themselves by refusing to be baptized by him.
isv@Luke:7:31 @ “To what can I compare the people of this generation?
isv@Luke:7:32 @ Theyare like little children who sit in the marketplace and shout to each other,‘A wedding song we played for you,the dance you did but scorn. A woeful dirge we chanted, too,but then you did not mourn.’
isv@Luke:7:33 @ For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, yet you say, ‘He has a demon!’
isv@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
isv@Luke:7:35 @ Absolved from every act of sin,is wisdom by her kith and kin.”
