So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor (Luke 7:22).
When John the Baptist sat in jail, he began to have his doubts about Jesus; so he sent disciples to ask him if he was "the one." Jesus answered with a summary of his ministry within which he described the people to whom he ministered.
Jesus' ministry focused on the sick and the poor. Period.
