What question did John send two disciples to ask Jesus?
John the Baptist, while in prison, sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus if He was the one who should come or if they should look for another. The question was: "Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?"
Les explains that John the Baptist had announced the coming of the King and was a preacher of repentance and baptism, and he had seen many come to his preaching. He was present at Christ's baptism and saw all that attended it. Now he is in prison, and he wonders, 'Is He really the Christ? Because if He is, what am I doing here?' So John sent two of his close associates to ask Jesus, 'Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?' Jesus answered by telling them to go back and show and tell what they hear and see, much like kindergarten show-and-tell, to make an impact on John's disciples.
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
