4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see:
5 the blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor have good news announced to them.
6 And whoever is not offended by me is blessed.”
7 Now as these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in the houses of kings.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
10 It is this man about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
