Matthew 11:2-3: "When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?'"
Jesus responds by pointing to the miracles He has performed, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies:
Matthew 11:4-6: "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 cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.'"
Jesus' response reaffirms His identity as the Messiah and emphasizes the importance of faith and trust in Him.
