22 Et il leur répondit: Allez rapporter à Jean ce que vous avez vu et entendu:les aveugles voient, les boiteux marchent, les lépreux sont purifiés, les sourds entendent, les morts ressuscitent, la bonne nouvelle est annoncée aux pauvres.
23 Heureux celui pour qui je ne serai pas une occasion de chute!
24 Lorsque les envoyés de Jean furent partis, Jésus se mit à dire à la foule, au sujet de Jean: Qu’êtes-vous allés voir au désert? Un roseau agité par le vent?
25 Mais, qu’êtes-vous allés voir? Un homme vêtu d’habits précieux? Voici, ceux qui portent des habits magnifiques, et qui vivent dans les délices, sont dans les maisons des rois.
26 Qu’êtes-vous donc allés voir? Un prophète? Oui, vous dis-je, et plus qu’un prophète.
