Luke 7: 18b-23 - 'Are you the one who is to come?'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 547 (in 'The Signs of the Kingdom of God') - Jesus accompanies his words with many "mighty works and wonders and signs", which manifest that the kingdom is present in him and attest that he was the promised Messiah.
- 453 (in 'And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord') - The title "Christ" means "Anointed One" (Messiah) .Jesus is the Christ, for "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power" (Acts 10:38). He was the one "who is to come" (Lk 7:19), the object of "the hope of Israel" (Acts 28:20).
- 544 (in 'The Kingdom of God is at hand') - The kingdom belongs to the poor and lowly, which means those who have accepted it with humble hearts. Jesus is sent to "preach good news to the poor"; he declares them blessed, for "theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (abbreviated).

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast. As always, our task today is to look at the gospel |
| 0:17.9 | reading from today's Mass and to really dive into it, to try |
| 0:22.0 | and understand the literal sense of scripture. |
| 0:24.3 | What does it mean on the most fundamental level? |
| 0:27.1 | We always want to start there as Catholics, and that's our goal in this podcast to help you |
| 0:31.1 | work out what it meant in its original context. |
| 0:34.0 | Today we're looking at Luke chapter 7 verse 18B to verse 23. |
| 0:39.3 | John, summoning two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord to ask, |
| 0:45.3 | Are you the one who is to come or must we wait for someone else? |
| 0:50.3 | When the men reached Jesus, they said, |
| 0:53.3 | John the Baptist has sent us to you to to ask are you the one who is to come |
| 0:57.6 | or have we to wait for someone else it was just then that he cured many people of diseases and afflictions |
| 1:05.0 | and of evil spirits and he gave the gift of sight to many who were blind. Then he gave the messengers their answer. |
| 1:12.6 | Go back and tell John what you have seen and heard. |
| 1:15.6 | The blind see again, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf here. |
| 1:21.6 | The dead are raised to life, the good news is proclaimed to the poor, |
| 1:25.6 | and happy is the man who does not lose faith in me. |
| 1:30.7 | An interesting reading we have today, we have John the Baptist doubting whether Jesus is the Messiah, |
| 1:35.8 | and he sends his own disciples to investigate and to confirm whether Jesus is the Messiah. |
| 1:40.8 | And it raises some interesting questions here, so let's dive into it. |
| 1:45.8 | What's the context? Well, at this point in luke chapter seven jesus has been doing various healings all around galilee and he's been |
