1When Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities. 
 2Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples 
 3and said to Him, “Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?” 
 4Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: 
 5the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM. 
 6“And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me.”  (Matthew 11:1-6)

How do we know that Jesus is the Messiah?  John the Baptist had the same question, and it is answered in the book of Isaiah

4Say to those with anxious heart,
         ”Take courage, fear not
         Behold, your God will come with vengeance;
         The recompense of God will come,
         But He will save you.”
    5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened
         And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
    6Then the lame will leap like a deer,
         And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy
         For waters will break forth in the wilderness
         And streams in the Arabah. (Isaiah 35:4-6)

1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
         Because the LORD has anointed me
         To bring good news to the afflicted;
         He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
         To proclaim liberty to captives
         And freedom to prisoners;
    2To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD
         And the day of vengeance of our God;
         To comfort all who mourn, (Isaiah 61:1-2)
