Just one question, or four

 Just one question, or four 

Matthew, chapter 11, beginning at verse 2:

Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” (ESV)

In some manuscripts, this follows:

 “I am not offended,” John returns, “but please, tell me: What do the blind see and where do the lame go? What do the deaf hear, and when the dumb speak, what do they say? The raised up, are they truly alive? And the poor, do they believe it?”

Yes, what does anyone hear? And when the dumb speak, what will they say?
