Matthew 11:2-9, 13-19
 
   2 When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples  3 to ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, 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 are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. 6 Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me." 
   7 As John's disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: "What did you go out into the desert to see?  A reed swayed by the wind?     8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes?  No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings' palaces.  9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
   13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.  14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.  15 He who has ears, let him hear." 
   16 To what can I compare this generation?  They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:  17  'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge and you did not mourn.'  18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'  19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdom is proved right by her actions."
