Matthew 11:3 Context
1And it came to passe, when Iesus had made an end of commaunding his twelue Disciples, hee departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. 2Now when Iohn had heard in the prison the workes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3And said vnto him, Art thou hee that should come? Or doe wee looke for another? 4Iesus answered and saide vnto them, Go and shew Iohn againe those things which we doe heare and see: 5The blind receiue their sight, and the lame walke, the lepers are cleansed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore haue the Gospel preached to them.
