Luke 7:18-23

GOD’S WORD Translation

John Sends Two Disciples^(A)

¹⁸ John’s disciples told him about all these things. Then John called two of his disciples ¹⁹ and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?”

²⁰ The men came to Jesus and said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you, ‘Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?’ ”

²¹ At that time Jesus was curing many people who had diseases, sicknesses, and evil spirits. Also, he was giving back sight to many who were blind.

²² Jesus answered John’s disciples, “Go back, and tell John what you have seen and heard: Blind people see again, lame people are walking, those with skin diseases are made clean,^[a] deaf people hear again, dead people are brought back to life, and poor people hear the Good News. ²³ Whoever doesn’t lose his faith in me is indeed blessed.”
