What happensPermalink
John’s disciples ask if Jesus is Messiah. Jesus praises John to the crowds and mocks them for their hypocrisy. He denounces many cities as unrepentant and praises God for hiding true wisdom from the worldly wise. He offers us rest.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus repeatedly proclaims that He is the prophesied Messiah in terms that only some can understand. Everyone sees His works and hears His words, but few repent and believe.
Key versePermalink
“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
