“And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?”
He sent them to the Lord to ask, are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else? — the question from the imprisoned forerunner is the chapter's theological center: are you the one who is to come (ho erchomenos, the expected messianic figure) or should we expect someone else? The question is honest, not faithless — John is asking Jesus to confirm what he has proclaimed about him.
