Chapter 11
1
When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2
Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
3
and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
4
Jesus answered them, “+w Go|strong=“G4198”+w* +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w tell|strong=“G3004”+w* +w John|strong=“G2491”+w* +w the|strong=“G2532”+w* +w things|strong=“G3588”+w* +w which|strong=“G3739”+w* +w you|strong=“G3739”+w* hear +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* see:

6
+w Blessed|strong=“G3107”+w* +w is|strong=“G1510”+w* +w he|strong=“G2532”+w* +w who|strong=“G3739”+w* finds +w no|strong=“G3361”+w* occasion +w for|strong=“G1722”+w* +w stumbling|strong=“G4624”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w me|strong=“G1473”+w*.”
7
As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “+w What|strong=“G5101”+w* +w did|strong=“G5101”+w* +w you|strong=“G3004”+w* +w go|strong=“G4198”+w* +w out|strong=“G1831”+w* +w into|strong=“G1519”+w* +w the|strong=“G1519”+w* +w wilderness|strong=“G2048”+w* +w to|strong=“G1519”+w* +w see|strong=“G2300”+w*? +w A|strong=“G1519”+w* +w reed|strong=“G2563”+w* +w shaken|strong=“G4531”+w* +w by|strong=“G5259”+w* +w the|strong=“G1519”+w* wind?

20
Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
