2. Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3. And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
2, 3. Note, It is doubtful whether (John being in Prison and not seeing Jesus) the meaning be, Art thou the same Jesus that I baptized, &c. Or, (as is more likely) that he sent his Disciples that they might be convinced by more than John's testimony.
4. Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see. 5.

And blessed is he whoever shall not be offended in me.
