Now when John heard in prison about the deeds Christ had done, he sent his disciples to ask a question:

约翰在监里听见基督所做的事，就打发两个门徒去，

约翰在监狱里听见基督所做的事，就派他的门徒去，

约翰在监狱里听见基督所做的事，就派他的门徒去，

約翰在獄、聞基督所行之事、乃遣二門徒、

如望在縲絏中、聞耶穌所行、遣二徒問曰：

When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples

John the Baptist was in prison. When he heard about the actions of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to him.

Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples

John the Baptist, who was in prison, heard about all the things the Messiah was doing. So he sent his disciples to ask Jesus,

Now when John heard in prison what the Christ was doing, he sent a message through his disciples

Now while in prison, John heard about the works of Christ, and he sent word by his disciples,

And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples

When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent a message by his disciples

Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

For Herod himself had sent men, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married her.

Now when Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, he went into Galilee.

Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked,“ Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”

Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was winning and baptizing more disciples than John

While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul went through the inland regions and came to Ephesus. He found some disciples thereand said to them,“ Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They replied,“ No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”So Paul said,“ Into what then were you baptized?”“ Into John’s baptism,” they replied.

But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and because of all the evil deeds that he had done,

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to Christ, fourteen generations.

( For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)Now a dispute came about between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew concerning ceremonial washing.So they came to John and said to him,“ Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you testified– see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!”John replied,“ No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.You yourselves can testify that I said,‘ I am not the Christ,’ but rather,‘ I have been sent before him.’

John’s disciples informed him about all these things. So John called two of his disciplesand sent them to Jesus to ask,“ Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”When the men came to Jesus, they said,“ John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,‘ Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’”At that very time Jesus cured many people of diseases, sicknesses, and evil spirits, and granted sight to many who were blind.So he answered them,“ Go tell John what you have seen and heard: The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”When John’s messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John:“ What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? Look, those who wear fancy clothes and live in luxury are in kings’ courts!What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.This is the one about whom it is written,‘ Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.’I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he is.”( Now all the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice, because they had been baptized with John’s baptism.However, the Pharisees and the experts in religious law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)“ To what then should I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another,‘ We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance; we wailed in mourning, yet you did not weep.’For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say,‘ He has a demon!’The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say,‘ Look at him, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
