Luke 7:1-17

1And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;

3and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.

4But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,

5for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.

6And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.

7Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant 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 goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].

9And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

10And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.

11And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.

12And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her.

13And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;

14and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.

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

16And fear seized on all, and they glorified 1God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and 2God has visited his people.

17And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
