Luke 7:10-30

10And when thoseG3588 who had been sentG3992 returnedG5290 to the houseG3624, they foundG2147 the slaveG1401 in goodG5198 healthG5198.

11SoonG1836 afterwardG1722G1836 Jesus 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 outG1580, the onlyG3439 sonG5207 of his motherG3384, and she was a widowG5503; and a sizeableG2425 crowdG3793 from the cityG4172 was with her. 13When 3the LordG2962 sawG3708 her, He feltG4697 compassionG4697 for her and saidG3004 to her, “Do not go on weepingG2799.” 14And He cameG4334 upG4334 and touchedG681 the coffinG4673; and the bearersG941 cameG2476 toG2476 aG2476 haltG2476. And He saidG3004, “YoungG3495 manG3495, I sayG3004 to you, ariseG1453!” 15And the deadG3498 manG3498 satG339 upG339 and beganG757 to speakG2980. And Jesus gaveG1325 him back to his motherG3384. 164FearG5401 grippedG2983 them allG3956, and they began 5glorifyingG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, “A greatG3173 6prophetG4396 has appearedG1453 amongG1722 us!” and, “GodG2316 has 7visitedG1980 His peopleG2992!” 178And thisG3778 reportG3056 aboutG4012 Him spreadG1831 throughoutG3650G1722 JudeaG2449 and in allG3956 the surroundingG4066 regionG4066.

189The disciplesG3101 of JohnG2491 alsoG2532 reportedG518 to him aboutG4012 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 19And after summoningG4341 10twoG1417 of his disciplesG3101, JohnG2491 sentG3992 them to 11the LordG2962, sayingG3004, “Are You the ComingG2064 OneG2064, orG2228 are we to 12lookG4328 forG4328 anotherG243?” 20When the menG435 cameG3854 to Him, they saidG3004, “JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 has sentG649 us to You, 13to askG3004, ‘Are You the ComingG2064 OneG2064, orG2228 are we to 14lookG4328 forG4328 anotherG243?’” 21At that very 15timeG5610 He 16curedG2323 manyG4183 people of diseasesG3554 and 17afflictionsG3148 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: peopleG5185 whoG5185 wereG5185 18blindG5185 receiveG308 sightG308, peopleG5560 who limpedG5560 walkG4043, peopleG3015 withG3015 leprosyG3015 are cleansedG2511 and peopleG2974 who were deafG2974 hearG191, deadG3498 peopleG3498 are raisedG1453 upG1453, and 19peopleG4434 whoG4434 areG4434 poorG4434 have the gospelG2097 preachedG2097 to them. 23And blessedG3107 is 20anyoneG3739G1437 whoG3739G1437 does not takeG4624 offenseG4624 at Me.”

24When the messengersG32 of JohnG2491 had leftG565, He beganG757 to speakG3004 to the crowdsG3793 aboutG4012 JohnG2491: “WhatG5101 did you goG1831 outG1831 into the 21wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 by the windG417? 2522But whatG5101 did you goG1831 outG1831 to seeG3708? A manG444 dressedG294 in softG3120 clothingG2440? ThoseG3588 who are splendidlyG1741 clothedG2441 and liveG5225 in luxuryG5172 are found in royalG933 palacesG933! 26But whatG5101 did you goG1831 outG1831 to seeG3708? A prophetG4396? YesG3483, I tellG3004 you, and one who is moreG4053 than a prophetG4396. 27ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125: ‘23BeholdG2400, I am sendingG649 My messengerG32 24aheadG4253 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 the one who is 25leastG3398 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is greaterG3173 than he.” 29When allG3956 the peopleG2992 and the taxG5057 collectorsG5057 heardG191 this, they acknowledgedG1344 26God’sG2316 justiceG1344, 27having been baptizedG907 with 28the baptismG908 of JohnG2491. 30But the PhariseesG5330 and the 2930lawyersG3544 rejectedG114 God’sG2316 purposeG1012 for themselvesG1438, not having been baptizedG907 by 31John.
