22And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.
23And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
24And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?
25But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.
26But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
27This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.
28I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
