Luke 7

18 Ref And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

19 Ref And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

20 Ref When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

21 Ref And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

22 Ref Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

23 Ref And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

24 Ref And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

25 Ref But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

26 Ref But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

27 Ref This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

28 Ref For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

29 Ref And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

30 Ref But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

31 Ref And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

32 Ref They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

33 Ref For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

34 Ref The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

35 Ref But wisdom is justified of all her children.
