Gospel of Matthew 11: 2-11

2 And when John heard the acts of Christ in prison, he sent two of his disciples,
3 to ask: Are you the one to come, or will we wait for another?
4 Jesus answered and said to them: Go, and let John know the things that you hear and see.
5 The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is announced to the poor;
6 and blessed is he who does not stumble on me.
7 As they left, Jesus began to say to John about the people: What did you go out to see in the desert? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 Or what did you go out to see? A man covered in delicate clothes? Here, those who wear delicate garments are in the houses of the kings.
9 But what did you go out to see? To a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is from whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.

11 Truly, I say to you, among those born of women no one greater than John the Baptist has risen; but the smallest in the kingdom of heaven is greater than him.

COMMENTS TO THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE
The biblical passage shows us a John the Baptist, full of doubts, sending to ask about the personality of Jesus Christ, “Are you the one who was to come, or will we wait for another?” Before this Jesus calms the disciples of the Baptist about messianism itself: announcing the Good News to the poor, inviting them to inform John the Baptist about the miracles that Jesus performs.
We can analyze John's doubts through the doubts that overwhelm us when we make decisions throughout our lives, however the Lord shows us through his word that he is the way of salvation, that he who follows him will have life eternal.
We must also understand that John, as all the Jewish people expected a political messiah, the warrior leader who would lead a rebellion against the Romans, which would allow the people to be liberated from the oppressive yoke of Rome, in contrast, Jesus, is not this type of Leader On the contrary, he seeks, through his teaching, to promote goodness, compassion and love of neighbor, which will allow sinners to open the doors of the Kingdom of God to all men, not only to the chosen people, as we can deduct from the Old Testament.
It goes further when he asks not only to forgive the one who hits you, offends you or affects you in any way, but invites you to “turn the other cheek” as he proposes in the discourse of the Mountain (Matthew 5,38-42) , whereupon, Jesus Christ reforms the "law of the talion",
With this the word of God, poured into this biblical passage, in itself is a source of joy, a message of joy, because it gives us with it, a salvific message that is not for this material world, but for the spiritual and coming world .
