Luke 7:10-30

10And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.

11And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and many people. 12Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her. 13And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not. 14And he came and touched the bier: and they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise.1 15And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. 16And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet hath risen among us; and, That God hath visited his people. 17And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the surrounding region. 18And the disciples of John reported to him of all these things.

19And John calling two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 20When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 21And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and afflictions, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight. 22Then Jesus answering said to them, Go, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. 23And blessed is he, who shall not be offended because of me. 24And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 25But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts. 26But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. 27This is he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. 28For I say to you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. 29And all the people that heard him, and the tax collectors, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 30But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.23
