fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples, |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData said to him, `Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?' |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see, |

fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.' |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, `What went ye out to the wilderness to view? -- a reed shaken by the wind? |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData `But what went ye out to see? -- a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses. |

| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. |

fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData `And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force, |

| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData `For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon; |

| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData At that time Jesus answering said, `I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes. |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee. |
