Luke - ch 7 v 1 - 20
- And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;
- and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
- and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.
- And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying -- `He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,
- for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'
- And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;
- wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad 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 goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth `it'.'
- And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'
- and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
- And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,
- and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.
- And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;'
- and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing `it' stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'
- and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;
- and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying -- `A great prophet hath risen among us,' and -- `God did look upon His people.'
- And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.
- And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
- and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, `Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
- And having come near to him, the men said, `John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
