Luke:7:18-35

mkjv@Luke:7:18 @ And his disciples reported all these things to John.

mkjv@Luke:7:19 @ And John, calling near a certain two of his disciples, sent [them] to Jesus, saying, Are You He that should come, or do we look for another?

mkjv@Luke:7:20 @ And coming to Him, the men said, John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, Are You He who should come, or do we look for another?

mkjv@Luke:7:21 @ And in the same hour He cured many of infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits. And He gave sight to many who were blind.

mkjv@Luke:7:22 @ And answering, Jesus said to them, Go and tell John what you have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is proclaimed to the poor.

mkjv@Luke:7:23 @ And blessed is [he] who shall not be offended in Me.

mkjv@Luke:7:24 @ And when the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the people concerning John. What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

mkjv@Luke:7:25 @ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed with soft clothing? Behold, those in splendid clothing and being in luxury are in kings' palaces.

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

mkjv@Luke:7:27 @ This is [he] of whom it is written, Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who shall prepare Your way before You.

mkjv@Luke:7:28 @ For I say to you, Among [those] who are born of woman there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

mkjv@Luke:7:29 @ And all the people and the tax-collectors who heard [Him] justified God, being baptized [with] the baptism of John.

mkjv@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not being baptized by him.

mkjv@Luke:7:31 @ And the Lord said, To what then shall I compare the men of this generation? And to what are they like?

mkjv@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in a market and calling to one another, and saying, We have played the flute to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you did not weep.

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

mkjv@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners!

mkjv@Luke:7:35 @ But wisdom has been justified by all her children.
