“Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.”
So he replied to the messengers, go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: 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 — the answer is the fulfillment list of Isaiah 35:5–6 and 61:1: blind seeing, lame walking, lepers cleansed, deaf hearing, dead raised, poor receiving good news. The list is the enacted answer — not are you the one? Yes, I am, but see what is happening and recognize in it the fulfillment of what Isaiah promised.
