Verse
Luke - ch 7 v 1 - 20
- And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
- And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;
- and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.
- But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,
- for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
- And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
- Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.
- For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.
- And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
- And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
- And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
- And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city was with her.
- And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;
- and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
- And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
- And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.
- And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
- And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
- and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
- But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
