SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:18
Y los discípulos de Juan le dieron las nuevas de todas estas cosas; y llam Juan a dos de sus discípulos,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 7:18
Verse 18. The disciples of John showed him, &c.] It is very likely that John's disciples attended the ministry of our Lord at particular times; and this, we may suppose, was a common case among the disciples of different Jewish teachers. Though bigotry existed in its most formidable shape between the Jews and Samaritans, yet we do not find that it had any place between Jews and Jews, though they were of different sects, and attached to different teachers.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And the disciples of John showed him of all these things .] The miracles that were wrought by Christ; particularly the healing of the centurion's servant, and the raising from the dead the widow of Naim's son, and what fame and reputation Christ got every where by his doctrine, and mighty works. John was now in prison, when these his disciples came and related these things to him; (see Matthew 11:2) and they spoke of them, not as commending Christ for them; but as envying, grieving, and complaining, that he carried away all the honour and glory from John their master, for whom they had the greatest regard.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-18 - When the Lord saw the poor widow following her son to the grave, he ha compassion on her. See Christ's power over death itself. The gospe call to all people, to young people particularly, is, Arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light and life. When Christ put lif into him, it appeared by the youth's sitting up. Have we grace from Christ? Let us show it. He began to speak: whenever Christ gives u spiritual life, he opens the lips in prayer and praise. When dead soul are raised to spiritual life, by Divine power going with the gospel, we must glorify God, and look upon it as a gracious visit to his people Let us seek for such an interest in our compassionate Saviour, that we may look forward with joy to the time when the Redeemer's voice shal call forth all that are in their graves. May we be called to the resurrection of life, not to that of damnation.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
7:18 {And the disciples of John told him} (kai apeggeilan iwanei hoi maqetai autou). Literally, and his disciples announced to John. Such news (verse #17) was bound to come to the ears of the Baptist languishing in the dungeon of Machaerus (#Lu 3:20). #Lu 7:18-35 runs parallel with #Mt 11:2-19, a specimen of Q, the non-Marcan portion of Matthew and Luke.
