Matthew 11:2. N ow when John heard in the prison (according to Josephus, the fortress of Machaerus, situated on the border of Perea near the desert; next to Jerusalem the strongest fortress of the Jews) the works of Christ. According to Luke (Luke 7:18), John's disciples had told him or such miracles as the raising of the widow's son in Nain. ‘Christ,' or ‘the Christ.' As Matthew uses this form nowhere else, it is likely that the disciples of John had thus spoken of our Lord, meaning: the one John announced as the Messiah.

He sent by his disciples. This is the correct reading. ‘Two' is borrowed from Luke 7:19.
