Luke 7:4-21

⁴And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying — 'He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,

⁵for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'

⁶And 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;

⁷wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;

⁸for 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.'

⁹And 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;'

¹⁰and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.

¹¹And 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,

¹²and 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.

¹³And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, 'Be not weeping;'

¹⁴and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing it stood still, and he said, 'Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'

¹⁵and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;

¹⁶and 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.'

¹⁷And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.

¹⁸And the disciples of John told him about all these things,

¹⁹and 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?'

²⁰And 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?'

²¹And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
