Luke 7:6-19

⁶So Jesus continued on his way with them. But when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, because I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.

⁷For this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you, but just say a word and my servant will be healed.

⁸For I also am a man who is under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another one, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it.”

⁹When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.”

¹⁰When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant was well.

¹¹Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.

¹²As he came near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother (who was a widow), and a rather large crowd from the town was with her.

¹³When the Lord saw her, he was deeply moved with compassion for her and said to her, “Do not cry.”

¹⁴Then he went up and touched the wooden frame on which they carried the body, and those carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”

¹⁵The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.

¹⁶Then fear overcame all of them, and they kept praising God, saying, “A great prophet has been raised among us” and “God has looked upon his people.”

¹⁷This news about Jesus spread throughout the whole of Judea and all the neighboring regions.

¹⁸John's disciples told him about all these things.

¹⁹Then John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to say, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”
