¶ Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he • calling unto him two of his
disciples sent • sent two of his disciples, • to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? [O]r look we
for another? When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying,

Art thou he that should come? or • do we look for another? • And in that same hour he cured many of
