dby Luke:7:18-35
dby@Luke:7:18 @ And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
dby@Luke:7:19 @ and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
dby@Luke:7:20 @ But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
dby@Luke:7:21 @ In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
dby@Luke:7:22 @ And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;
dby@Luke:7:23 @ and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
dby@Luke:7:24 @ And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?
dby@Luke:7:25 @ But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.
dby@Luke:7:26 @ But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.
dby@Luke:7:27 @ This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
dby@Luke:7:28 @ for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater [prophet] is no one than John [the baptist]; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
dby@Luke:7:29 @ (And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;
dby@Luke:7:30 @ but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
dby@Luke:7:31 @ To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
dby@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
dby@Luke:7:33 @ For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
dby@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
dby@Luke:7:35 @ and wisdom has been justified of all her children.
