acv Luke:7:18-35
acv@Luke:7:18 @ And the disciples of John informed him about all these things.
acv@Luke:7:19 @ And having summoned a certain two of his disciples, John sent them to Jesus, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
acv@Luke:7:20 @ And when they came to him, they said, John the immerser has sent us to thee, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
acv@Luke:7:21 @ And in the same hour he healed many from diseases and plagues and evil spirits. And he granted sight to many blind men.
acv@Luke:7:22 @ And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye saw and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor are preached good-new
acv@Luke:7:23 @ And blessed is he, whoever will not be offended by me.
acv@Luke:7:24 @ And after John's messengers departed, he began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
acv@Luke:7:25 @ But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those in elegant clothing, and existing in luxury, are in kingly places.
acv@Luke:7:26 @ But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
acv@Luke:7:27 @ This is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
acv@Luke:7:28 @ For I say to you, among men born of women there is not one prophet greater than John the immerser, yet the smaller in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
acv@Luke:7:29 @ And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors who were immersed the immersion of John, justified God.
acv@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and the lawyers who were not immersed by him, rejected the purpose of God for themselves.
acv@Luke:7:31 @ To what, then will I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
acv@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling to each other, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance. We mourned to you, and ye did not weep.
acv@Luke:7:33 @ For John the immerser has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
acv@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!
acv@Luke:7:35 @ And wisdom is justified from all her children.
