5 what you have heard and seen. T he blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and to the poor is given hope.
6 And happy is he who will not be ashamed of Me.’ 7 But when they had gone, jesus began to say to the crowd concerning What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed dancing under
8 the wind? But what did you go out to see ? A man attired in fine clothes? Those, however, who wear Hue cloth-
9 ing are in the houses of kings. What then did you go to see ? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a
so prophet: for he is the one about whom it is written, SEE! Iwiu. sewn MY Mssssuosn Barons YOUR FACE, WH0 wiu. PREPARE Yoon wav Barons You. I tell you indeed, that there has not been born of women a more exalted than john the Baptizer. Yet the very least in the Kingdom of
