Author’s Paraphrase
Psalm 91:16 You will see his deliverance and live a long, satisfying life.
Luke 7:20–23 So the men went to Jesus and said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to ask, ‘Are you the one to fulfill God’s promise, or must we look for someone else?'”
At that time, Jesus was healing many who were sick or had physical handicaps. He cast out evil spirits and gave sight to the blind.
“Go tell John what you have seen and heard,” Jesus said. “The blind see, the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed. The deaf can hear, the dead are raised, and the needy receive words of hope. Tell him a man is blessed when he puts his faith in me.”
King James
Psalm 91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Luke 7:20–23 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
