This Sunday’s Gospel : MIRACLES OF THE MESSIAH
John in his prison had heard what Christ was doing and he sent his disciples to ask him, ‘Are you the one who is to come,
or have we got to wait for someone else?’ Jesus answered, ‘Go back and tell John what you hear and see; the blind see again,
and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised to life and the Good News is proclaimed to the
poor; and happy is the man who does not lose faith in me.’ As the messengers were leaving, Jesus began to talk to the people about
John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the breeze? No? Then what did you go out to see? A man
wearing fine clothes? Oh no, those who wear fine clothes are to be found in palaces. Then what did you go out for? To see a prophet?
Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet: he is the one of whom scripture says: Look, I am going to send my messenger before
you; he will prepare your way before you. I tell you solemnly, of all the children born of women, a greater than John the Baptist has
never been seen; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.’
