Matthew 11:1-6
New Life Version
John the Baptist Asks about Jesus (A)
11 When Jesus finished telling His twelve followers what to do, He went away from there to teach and preach in their towns.
2 When John the Baptist was in prison, he heard what Jesus was doing. He sent his followers. 3 They asked, “Are You the One Who was to come, or should we look for another?” 4 Jesus said to them, “Go and tell John what you see and hear. 5 The blind are made to see. Those who could not walk are walking. Those who have had bad skin diseases are healed. Those who could not hear are hearing. The dead are raised up to life and the Good News is preached to poor people. 6 He is happy who is not ashamed of Me and does not turn away because of Me.”

11 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples,(B) he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.[a]
2 When John,(C) who was in prison,(D) heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come,(E) or should we expect someone else?”
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[b] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(F) 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”(G)
