“When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?”
When the men came to Jesus, they said, John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, Lord, are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else? — the repetition of the question communicates its weight. John has sent his disciples specifically for this answer — the forerunner who has proclaimed Jesus is now in prison, not seeing the miracles firsthand, and needing the direct confirmation.
