Verse
Luke - ch 7 v 1 - 20
- After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
- A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
- When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
- When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,
- for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us."
- Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
- Therefore I didn't even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
- For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go!' and he goes; and to another, 'Come!' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
- When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel."
- Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
- It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
- Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
- When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, "Don't cry."
- He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"
- He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
- Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited his people!"
- This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.
- The disciples of John told him about all these things.
- John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?"
- When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?'"
