Bible Video: Jesus Teaches About John the Baptist
Scripture: Matthew 11:1-30
In this Bible video about Jesus, He is visited by some of the disciples of John the Baptist. At that time, John had been put in prison. The disciples of John asked Jesus, “Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?” (Matthew 11:3) Jesus answered them and said, “The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.” In other words, by my works, you can know that I am the Son of God.

Then, Jesus started teaching His disciples about John. He talked about his “rough” clothing that fit the description of a prophet according to the Jews at that time period. For the ancient Jews, a prophet had rough clothing and lived in the wilderness like the the prophet Elijah. Then, Jesus went a step further in honoring John and said, “Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.”
