Luke 7:1-17

1WhenG1894 Jesus had concludedG4137G3956 HisG846 discourseG4487 inG1519 theG3588 hearingG189 of theG3588 peopleG2992, He wentG1525 toG1519 CapernaumG2584. 2There aG5100 highly valuedG3739G1510G846G1784 servantG1401 of a centurionG1543 wasG2192 sickG2560 and aboutG3195 to dieG5053. 3WhenG1161 the centurion heardG191 aboutG4012 JesusG2424, he sentG649 some JewishG2453 eldersG4245 to askG2065 HimG846 to comeG2064 and healG1295 hisG846 servantG1401. 4They cameG3854 toG4314 JesusG2424 and pleaded withG3870 HimG846 earnestlyG4709, “This man isG1510 worthyG514 to have You grantG3930 thisG3778, 5forG1063 he lovesG25 ourG1473 nationG1484 andG2532 has builtG3618 ourG1473 synagogueG4864.”

6SoG1161 JesusG2424 wentG4198 withG4862 themG846. ButG1161 whenG2235 HeG846 was not farG3756G3112G568 fromG575 theG3588 houseG3614, theG3588 centurionG1543 sentG3992 friendsG5384 with the messageG3004G846: “LordG2962, do notG3361 trouble YourselfG4660, forG1063 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to haveG2443 You comeG1525 underG5259 myG1473 roofG4721. 7That is whyG1352 I did not consider myself worthyG3761G515G1683 to comeG2064 toG4314 YouG4771. ButG235 just sayG2036 the wordG3056, andG2532 myG1473 servantG3816 will be healedG2390. 8ForG1063 IG1473 myself amG1510 a manG444 underG5021G5259 authorityG1849, withG2192 soldiersG4757 underG5259 meG1683. I tellG3004 one to goG4198, andG2532 he goesG4198, andG2532 anotherG243 to comeG2064, andG2532 he comesG2064. I tell myG1473 servantG1401 to doG4160 something, andG2532 he doesG4160 it.”

9When Jesus heardG3588G191 this, He marveled atG2296 the centurion. TurningG4762 to theG3588 crowdG3793 followingG190 HimG846, He saidG2036, “I tellG3004 youG4771, not evenG3761 inG1722 IsraelG2474 have I foundG2147 such greatG5118 faithG4102.” 10AndG2532 when theG3588 messengersG3992 returnedG5290 toG1519 theG3588 houseG3624, they foundG2147 theG3588 servantG1401 in good healthG5198.

Soon afterwardG1096G1722G3588G1836, Jesus wentG4198 toG1519 a townG4172 calledG2564 NainG3484. HisG846 disciplesG3101 went withG4848 HimG846, accompanied byG2532 a largeG4183 crowdG3793. 12AsG5613 He approachedG1448 theG3588 townG4172 gateG4439, He sawG2400 a dead manG2348 being carried outG1580, the onlyG3439 sonG5207 ofG3588 hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 sheG846 wasG1510 a widowG5503. AndG2532 a largeG2425 crowdG3793 from theG3588 townG4172 wasG1510 withG4862 herG846.

13WhenG2532 theG3588 LordG2962 sawG3708 herG846, He had compassionG4697 onG1909 herG846 andG2532 saidG2036, “Do notG3361 weepG2799.” 14ThenG2532 He went upG4334 and touchedG680 theG3588 coffinG4673,1 andG1161 thoseG3588 carrying itG941 stood stillG2476. “Young manG3495,” He saidG2036, “I tellG3004 youG4771, get upG1453!” 15AndG2532 theG3588 deadG3498 man sat upG339 andG2532 beganG756 to speakG2980! ThenG2532 Jesus gaveG1325 him backG846 toG3588 hisG846 motherG3384.

A sense of aweG5401 swept overG2983 allG3956 of them, andG2532 they glorifiedG1392 GodG2316. “A greatG3173 prophetG4396 has appearedG1453 amongG1722 usG1473!” they saidG3004. “GodG2316 has visitedG1980 HisG846 peopleG2992!” 17AndG2532 the newsG3056 aboutG4012 Jesus spreadG1831 throughoutG1722G3650 JudeaG2449 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 surrounding regionG4066.
