Luke 7:1-17
11WhenG1894 He had completedG4137 allG3956 His discourseG4487 in the hearingG189 of the peopleG2992, 2He wentG1525 to CapernaumG2746.
2And a centurion’sG1543 slaveG1401, 3whoG3739 was highlyG1784 regardedG1784 by him, was sickG2560 and aboutG3195 to dieG5053. 3When he heardG191 aboutG4012 JesusG2424, 4he sentG649 some 5JewishG2453 eldersG4245 askingG2065 Him to comeG2064 and 6saveG1295 the lifeG1295 of his slaveG1401. 4When they cameG3854 to JesusG2424, they earnestlyG4709 imploredG3870 Him, sayingG3004, “He is worthyG514 for You to grantG3930 thisG3778 to him; 5for he lovesG25 our nationG1484 and it was he who builtG3618 us our synagogueG4864.” 6NowG1161 JesusG2424 started on His wayG4198 with them; and when He was not farG3112 from the houseG3614, the centurionG1543 sentG3992 friendsG5384, sayingG3004 to Him, “7LordG2962, do not troubleG4660 Yourself further, for I amG1510 not worthyG2425 for You to comeG1525 underG5259 my roofG4721; 7for thisG1352 reasonG1352 I did not evenG3761 considerG515 myselfG1683 worthyG515 to comeG2064 to You, but just 8sayG3004 the wordG3056, and my 9servantG3816 will be healedG2390. 8For I alsoG2532 amG1510 a manG444 placed underG5259 authorityG1849, with soldiersG4757 underG5259 me; and I sayG3004 to thisG3778 oneG3778, ‘GoG4198!’ and he goesG4198, and to anotherG243, ‘ComeG2064!’ and he comesG2064, and to my slaveG1401, ‘DoG4160 thisG3778!’ and he doesG4160 it.” 9NowG1161 when JesusG2424 heardG191 thisG3778, He marveledG2296 at him, and turnedG4762 and saidG3004 to the crowdG3793 that was followingG190 Him, “I sayG3004 to you, 10not evenG3761 in IsraelG2474 have I foundG2147 suchG5118 greatG5118 faithG4102.” 10When thoseG3588 who had been sentG3992 returnedG5290 to the houseG3624, they foundG2147 the slaveG1401 in goodG5198 healthG5198.
11SoonG1836 afterwardsG1722G1836 He wentG4198 to a cityG4172 calledG2564 NainG3484; and His disciplesG3101 were goingG4848 alongG4848 with Him, 11accompaniedG2532 by a largeG4183 crowdG3793. 12NowG1161 as He approachedG1448 the gateG4439 of the cityG4172, 12a deadG2348 man was being carriedG1580 out, the 13onlyG3439 sonG5207 of his motherG3384, and she was a widowG5503; and a sizeableG2425 crowdG3793 from the cityG4172 was with her. 13When 14the LordG2962 sawG3708 her, He feltG4697 compassionG4697 for her, and saidG3004 to her, “15Do not weepG2799.” 14And He cameG4334 up and touchedG681 the coffinG4673; and the bearersG941 cameG2476 to a haltG2476. And He saidG3004, “YoungG3495 manG3495, I sayG3004 to you, ariseG1453!” 15The 16deadG3498 manG3498 satG339 up and beganG757 to speakG2980. And Jesus gaveG1325 him back to his motherG3384. 1617FearG5401 grippedG2983 them allG3956, and they began 18glorifyingG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, “A greatG3173 19prophetG4396 has arisenG1453 amongG1722 us!” and, “GodG2316 has 20visitedG1980 His peopleG2992!” 1721ThisG3778 reportG3056 concerningG4012 Him wentG1831 out allG3650 overG1722 JudeaG2453 and in allG3956 the surroundingG4066 districtG4066.
