21 At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind people.
22 He replied to them, “Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.
23 And anyone who is not offended because of Me is blessed.”
24 After John’s messengers left, He began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
25 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft robes? Look, those who are splendidly dressed and live in luxury are in royal palaces.
26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
27 This is the one it is written about:Look, I am sending My messengerahead of You; he will prepare Your way before You.
