He said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!" 007:015 He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. 007:016 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited his people!" 007:017 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region. 007:018 The disciples of John told him about all these things. 007:019 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?" 007:020 When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?'" 007:021 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight. 007:022 Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. 007:023 Blessed is he who is not offended by me." 007:024 When John's messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see?
