What Does Luke 7:21 Mean?
Jesus answers first with deeds. In the messengers' presence, "in that same hour," He cures diseases and plagues, frees the oppressed from evil spirits, and gives sight to the blind — a living demonstration unfolding before the two witnesses.
Before He says a word about His identity, He supplies the evidence on which the answer will rest. The blind receiving sight is Isaiah's signature mark of God's promised salvation (Isaiah 35:5), and Luke says He "gave" it — sight bestowed as a gift. Jesus still answers seekers this way: not with credentials only, but with works of mercy that can be seen, weighed, and reported. Honest questions receive generous evidence.
