Messengers from John the Baptist

In the New Testament, the messengers who came from John the Baptist to Jesus are referred to in Matthew 11:2–6 and Luke 7:18–23.

[2] Jesus replied back to John through the messengers to take note of all the miraculous works he has done as described in Luke 7:22.

Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

"[3] The "best manuscript authorities"[4] state that John sent word δια των μαθητων αυτου, dia tōn mathētōn autou, i.e. by means of his disciples, although δύο τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, duo tōn mathētōn autou, meaning two of his disciples, appears in the Textus Receptus.

[6] Following this episode, Jesus begins to speak to the crowds about John the Baptist,[7] according to the reports of Matthew 11:7–11 and Luke 7:24–28.
