Story behind the song
This song was composed on 1/14/2026. In this passage, John the Baptist sends two of his disciples to question Jesus, as to whether he is the long-awaited Messiah, or whether they should seek someone else. Jesus doesn’t directly answer their question, but points them to all the miraculous works that He was doing. They spoke for themselves. It is a question that we also must answer for ourselves.
Lyrics
1Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
3and said to Him, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"
4Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."
7As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10For this is he of whom it is written: 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.'
11"Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come.
15He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
