And when the men were come unto him ,
they said :
John the Baptist hath sent us to thee ,

Luke:7:21 @(
And in that same hour ,
he cured many of their diseases ,
and hurts ,
and evil spirits :
and to many that were blind he gave sight .)

Luke:7:22 @
And answering ,
he said to them :
Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen :
the blind see ,
the lame walk ,
the lepers are made clean ,
the deaf hear ,
the dead rise again ,
to the poor the gospel is preached :

And when the messengers of John were departed ,
he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John .
What went ye out into the desert to see ?
a reed shaken with the wind ?

Luke:7:25 @
But what went you out to see ?
a man clothed in soft garments ?
Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately ,
are in the houses of kings .
drb @
Luke:7:26 @
But what went you out to see ?
a prophet ?
Yea ,
I say to you ,
and more than a prophet .

This is he of whom it is written :
Behold I send my angel before thy face ,
who shall prepare thy way before thee .

For I say to you :
Amongst those that are born of women ,
there is not a greater prophet that John the Baptist .
But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God ,
is greater than he .

and the publicans ,
justified God ,
being baptized with John '

being not baptized by him .

And the Lord said :
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation ?
and to what are they like ?

They are like to children sitting in the marketplace ,
and speaking one to another ,
and saying :
We have piped to you ,
and you have not danced :
we have mourned ,
and you have not wept .

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine ;
and you say :
He hath a devil .

The Son of man is come eating and drinking :
and you say :
Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine ,
a friend of publicans and sinners .
