Like the poorest people in Palestine, he lived on grasshoppers and wild honey. Just then John the Baptizer spoke. He looked old, but his voice showed that he was young and strong. "It is time you begin to show some sign that you are God's chosen people," he cried out. "But you are just like your ancestors you pay no attention to God. You don't listen to the prophets.
"If you answer it, I will tell you what right I have to act as I do. Where did John the Baptizer get his right to preach? From God in heaven, or was he given it by some man, perhaps a priest?" From God, of course, thought all the people instantly. The scribe knew what the people believed. He reflected, If I say, "From heaven," then he will ask us why we did not believe John's word.
Could God have chosen this man to deliver His people? John could not understand why the deliverance did not come. Jesus was training only a handful of disciples to preach. It would take more than that to bring God's great day. At last the Prophet sent two messengers to Jesus. "Our Prophet, John the Baptizer, has sent us to ask a question," said the leader.
The ideas seemed to escape them, slipping away as soon as they were spoken. Andrew was distressed at Jesus' words. "Master, the Messiah is mighty! He will come from the sky in great glory. How can you say that the Messiah will come without people even knowing he is among us?" Jesus turned to the followers of John the Baptizer and said: "Go tell John what you have heard.
He looked at Andrew. "But we believe what John the Baptizer tells us: God is soon coming to save us." The gentile shook his head. "I don't understand." "Perhaps he has not heard of the Prophet," Andrew said to Simon. He turned to the slave and said, "God has sent a Prophet to warn us to turn back to God." "What will your god do for you?" asked the other. Andrew spoke sternly to him.
