Matthew 11:7 Context
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. 6And blessed is he, whoseouer shal not be offended in me. 7¶ And as they departed, Iesus began to say vnto the multitudes concerning Iohn, what went ye out into the wildernesse to see? a reede shaken with the winde? 8But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that weare soft cloathing, are in kings houses. 9But what went ye out for to see? A Prophet? yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet.
