LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 7:22 tell John. Jesus does not answer John’s question directly but gives evidence demonstrating that he is the “coming one”: blind receive... sight (see Luke 4:18; Luke 18:35); lame walk (Luke 5:17); lepers are cleansed (Luke 5:12; Luke 17:11); deaf hear (see Isaiah 29:18; Isaiah 35:5); dead are raised (Luke 7:11; Luke 8:40); poor have good news preached to them (Luke 4:18; Luke 6:20). The days of salvation foretold by Isaiah have begun, even though they will not be completed until Christ returns to establish the eternal kingdom.
