1And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.
2Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples
3To say to him, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
4And Jesus, answering, said to them, Go and give news to John of the things which you are seeing and hearing:
5The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.
6And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
7And when they were going away, Jesus, talking of John, said to all the people, What went you out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?
