When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
When the guys got to Jesus, they said, 'John the Baptist sent us to ask you something: Are you the one we've been waiting for, or should we keep looking for someone else?'
Even John had his moments of doubt and needed to ask Jesus directly, and that's totally okay.
