Luke 7:10-30

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, 1accompaniedG2532 by a largeG4183 crowdG3793. 12NowG1161 as He approachedG1448 the gateG4439 of the cityG4172, 2a deadG2348 man was being carriedG1580 out, the 3onlyG3439 sonG5207 of his motherG3384, and she was a widowG5503; and a sizeableG2425 crowdG3793 from the cityG4172 was with her. 13When 4the LordG2962 sawG3708 her, He feltG4697 compassionG4697 for her, and saidG3004 to her, “5Do 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 6deadG3498 manG3498 satG339 up and beganG757 to speakG2980. And Jesus gaveG1325 him back to his motherG3384. 167FearG5401 grippedG2983 them allG3956, and they began 8glorifyingG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, “A greatG3173 9prophetG4396 has arisenG1453 amongG1722 us!” and, “GodG2316 has 10visitedG1980 His peopleG2992!” 1711ThisG3778 reportG3056 concerningG4012 Him wentG1831 out allG3650 overG1722 JudeaG2453 and in allG3956 the surroundingG4066 districtG4066.

1812The disciplesG3101 of JohnG2491 reportedG518 to him aboutG4012 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 19SummoningG4341 13twoG1417 of his disciplesG3101, JohnG2491 sentG3992 them to 14the LordG2962, sayingG3004, “Are You the 15ExpectedG2064 One, orG2228 do we lookG4328 for someoneG243 elseG243?” 20When the menG435 cameG3854 to Him, they saidG3004, “JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 has sentG649 us to You, to askG3004, ‘Are You the 16ExpectedG2064 One, orG2228 do we lookG4328 for someoneG243 elseG243?’” 21At that 17very timeG5610 He 18curedG2323 manyG4183 people of diseasesG3554 and 19afflictionsG3148 and evilG4190 spiritsG4151; and He gaveG5483 sightG991 to manyG4183 who were blindG5185. 22And He answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “GoG4198 and reportG518 to JohnG2491 whatG3739 you have seenG3708 and heardG191: the 20blindG5185 receiveG308 sightG308, the lameG5560 walkG4043, the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511, and the deafG2974 hearG191, the deadG3498 are raisedG1453 up, the 21poorG4434 have the gospelG2097 preachedG2097 to them. 23BlessedG3107 is he 22whoG3739 does not takeG4624 offense at Me.”

24When the messengersG32 of JohnG2491 had leftG565, He beganG757 to speakG3004 to the crowdsG3793 aboutG4012 JohnG2491, “WhatG5101 did you goG1831 out into the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 by the windG417? 2523But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? A manG444 dressedG294 in softG3120 24clothingG2440? ThoseG3588 who are splendidlyG1741 clothedG2441 and liveG5225 in luxuryG5172 are found in royalG933 palacesG933! 26But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? A prophetG4396? YesG3483, I sayG3004 to you, and one who is moreG4053 than a prophetG4396. 27ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125, ‘25BeholdG2400, I sendG649 My messengerG32 26aheadG4253 of You, WhoG3739 will prepareG2680 Your wayG3598 beforeG1715 You.’ 28I sayG3004 to you, amongG1722 those bornG1084 of womenG1135 there is noG3762 oneG3762 greaterG3173 than JohnG2491; yetG1161 he who is 27leastG3398 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is greaterG3173 than he.” 29When allG3956 the peopleG2992 and the taxG5057 collectorsG5057 heardG191 this, they 28acknowledgedG1344 29God’sG2316 justiceG1344, 30having been baptizedG907 with 31the baptismG908 of JohnG2491. 30But the PhariseesG5330 and the 3233lawyersG3544 rejectedG114 God’sG2316 purposeG1012 for themselvesG1438, not having been baptizedG907 by 34John.
