He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
Now it's interesting to compare the ministry of Jesus with John the Baptist. With John the Baptist there was really no gospel. Just, "Repent, you generation of vipers, bring forth something that shows you've repented. Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Make the path straight." I mean, just laying on them, really no gospel. But with Jesus, we find the gospel. "I have come to mend up, to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, recovering of the sight to the blind, to set at liberty those that are bruised, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." And so the glorious gospel that was brought to us by Jesus Christ.Now later on when John the Baptist began to have questions concerning Jesus after he had been in prison for awhile, and Jesus had not kicked Herod out from the throne and taken over, John sent his disciples to Jesus with the question, "Are you the Messiah, or shall we look for another?" In other words, "What's the big delay? I am tired of this prison."And in that same hour many came to Jesus who were blind and lame, the poor. And He healed them. He restored their sight. And He said to those disciples of John, "Go back and tell John what you've seen. How the blind receive their sight, the lame are walking, and to the meek the gospel is being preached." And Jesus, rather than answering directly, "Go back and tell John, 'Yes, I am the one you're looking for.'" Rather than His own testimony, in essence He was saying, "My works testify of who I am." These were to be the works of the Messiah.Now later on Jesus said, "Believeth thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very works sake." "Don't believe it because I say it unto you, but I have demonstrated the works of the Messiah. I have done those things that the scriptures said the Messiah would do, in giving sight to the blind, the lame are walking, the gospel if being preached to the poor." And these works are a witness, and they attest to the fact that Jesus is indeed the Messiah.And so He closed the book, gave it to the minister, He sat down. Everybody was looking at Him.
