And when the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?’” In that hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he bestowed sight. (Luke 7:20-21 ESV)
Since John the Baptist was in prison, he was not able to come and ask this for himself. He had heard a lot of stories from his own disciples, so they became his representatives to go and ask. Jesus, as He often did, did not at first take time to answer their question - He showed them Who He was. Many times we come to think Jesus is not answering, and therefore not listening to us when we ask Him something, when the answer is right in front of us. We are so caught up in being ignored that we are ignoring what He is doing to answer us.
