Luke:7:18-35
drb@Luke:7:18 @And John's disciples told him of all these things.
drb@Luke:7:19 @And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
drb@Luke:7:20 @And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
drb@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.)
drb@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:
drb@Luke:7:23 @And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.
drb@Luke:7:24 @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?
drb@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.
drb@Luke:7:27 @This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
drb@Luke:7:28 @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.
drb@Luke:7:29 @And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John's baptism.
drb@Luke:7:30 @But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.
drb@Luke:7:31 @And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
drb@Luke:7:32 @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.
drb@Luke:7:33 @For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil.
drb@Luke:7:34 @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.
drb@Luke:7:35 @And wisdom is justified by all her children.
