John’s Inquiry
Jesus keeps teaching and preaching after finishing with the twelve. John, hearing of his works from prison, sends disciples to ask whether Jesus is the one to come. Jesus answers by pointing to the signs already visible and closes with a blessing on the one who does not stumble over him.
A1fter Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities. 2Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples 3to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?” 4Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. 6Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me. ”
