## Luke 7:24-26 in Context (Verses 21–29 KJV)
 
 [21 ](/kjv/luke/7/21) And in that same hour he cured many of *their* infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many *that were* blind he gave sight.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/luke/7/22) Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/luke/7/23) And blessed is *he*, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/luke/7/24) ¶ And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
 
 [25 ](/kjv/luke/7/25) But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/luke/7/26) But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/luke/7/27) This is *he*, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/luke/7/28) For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/luke/7/29) And all the people that heard *him*, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
 
[Luke 6](/kjv/luke/6) [Luke 8](/kjv/luke/8)
