Luke 7:23
"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."
Key Reflection
This passage highlights Jesus' affirmation of John the Baptist's ministry, emphasizing that the miraculous works he performed—such as healing the blind, lame, lepers, deaf, raising the dead, and proclaiming good news to the poor—fulfilled prophetic expectations. These signs point not only to immediate healings but also foreshadow the broader spiritual transformations and ultimate redemption brought by Jesus.
