And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” Luke 7:22-23 (ESV)
Jesus simplifies his response by encouraging the disciples of John to just report what they have seen. No need to be complicated.
What is complicated is how someone could watch Jesus and be offended by Him. After all, how offensive is the blind receiving their sight, the lame walking, lepers who are cleansed, the deaf hearing, and the dead coming to life?
What kind of person would get offended by that? Perhaps one who is creating truth rather than discovering it. Perhaps it is the very definition of fool.
