John 1:29-34 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! / This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’ / I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.” ... Matthew 14:1-12 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus / and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” / Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, ... Mark 6:14-29 Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead!

He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners, / to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn, / to console the mourners in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. Malachi 3:1 “Behold, I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way before Me.

Then The word "then" serves as a transitional term, indicating a sequence of events. In the Greek, it is often translated from "καὶ" (kai), which can mean "and" or "then," depending on the context. This word connects the preceding narrative, where Jesus performed miracles and taught the people, to the current action involving John's disciples. It emphasizes the continuity of the Gospel narrative and the unfolding revelation of Jesus' ministry. the disciples of John reported to him about all these things Persons / Places / Events 1. John the BaptistA prophet who prepared the way for Jesus, known for his call to repentance and baptizing Jesus in the Jordan River. At this point, he is imprisoned and seeking confirmation about Jesus' identity. 2. John’s Disciples Followers of John the Baptist who remained loyal to him and reported to him about Jesus' ministry and miracles. 3. Jesus The central figure of the New Testament, whose works and teachings are being reported to John by his disciples. 4. The Miracles and Teachings of Jesus The events that John's disciples are reporting, which include Jesus healing the sick, raising the dead, and preaching the good news. 5. Imprisonment of John John is in prison at this time, which is why he is receiving reports from his disciples rather than witnessing Jesus' works firsthand. Teaching Points Seeking Confirmation in FaithEven strong believers like John the Baptist may experience doubt and seek reassurance. It is important to seek confirmation through prayer, scripture, and the testimony of others. The Role of Discipleship John's disciples play a crucial role in supporting and informing him. This highlights the importance of community and fellowship in the Christian walk. Recognizing Jesus' Works The miracles and teachings of Jesus are evidence of His divine authority and fulfillment of prophecy. Believers are encouraged to recognize and testify about Jesus' works in their lives. Responding to Doubt with Action When faced with uncertainty, taking proactive steps to seek truth, as John did by sending his disciples, is a model for addressing doubt. The Importance of Prophecy Understanding Old Testament prophecies helps believers recognize Jesus as the Messiah and strengthens faith in God's plan.(18-23) And the disciples of John shewed him.--See Notes on Matthew 11:2-6. The fact, mentioned by St. Luke only, that the "disciples of John" reported these things, suggests some interesting coincidences: (1) It implies that they had been present at our Lord's miracles, and had heard His teaching, and we have seen them as present in Matthew 9:14, Mark 2:18. (2) It shows that though John was in prison, his disciples were allowed free access to him. (3) The fulness of St. Luke's narrative in Luke 7:21 suggests the thought that St. Luke may have heard what he records from one of those disciples, possibly from Manaen (see Introduction, and Note on Luke 6:1) the foster-brother of the Tetrarch.Verses 18-35. - John the Baptist sends messengers to ask a question of Jesus. The reply of the Master. Verse 18. - And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. St. Luke, unlike St. Matthew, in the corresponding passage in his Gospel, does not specially mention that John was in prison; he evidently took it for granted that this would be known to his readers from the account of the Baptist's arrest and imprisonment by Herod Antipas given in ch. 3:19, 20. In the course of John's imprisonment, it is probable that very many of his disciples became hearers of Jesus. During the early period, at all events, of the Baptist's captivity it is clear that his friends and disciples had free access to his prison. There is no doubt but that, in reply to the anxious inquiries of John, his disciples told him of all the miracles they had witnessed, and the words they had heard, especially, no doubt, recounting to him much of the sermon on the mount which Jesus had lately delivered as the exposition of his doctrine. We can well imagine these faithful but impatient disciples, after detailing these marvels which they had seen, and the strange new words of winning power which they had heard, saying to their imprisoned master, "We have seen and heard these wondrous things, but the great Teacher gets no further; we hear nothing of the standard of King Messiah being raised, nothing of the high hope of the people being encouraged; he seems to pay no attention to the imperious rule of the foreigner, or the degrading tyranny of men like Antipas, the Herod who has wrongfully shut you up. He rather withdraws himself, and when the people, fired by his winning words and mighty acts, begin to grow enthusiastic, then this strange Man hides himself away. Can he be Messiah, as you once said?" Parallel Commentaries ... Greek ThenΚαὶ (Kai) Conjunction Strong's 2532: And, even, also, namely.
