Luke 7:1-13 ▼

1 And when he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.

2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.

3 But when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.

4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying: He is worthy for whom thou shouldst do this;

5 for he loves our nation, and of his own accord has built us a synagogue.

6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, and said to him: Lord, give thyself no trouble; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof.

7 For which reason, neither did I count myself worthy to go to thee; but command in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

8 For I am a man placed under authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

9 And when Jesus heard these things, he was filled with admiration for him; and, turning to the multitude that followed, he said: I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

10 And they that had been sent, returned to the house, and found the servant that had been sick restored to health.

11 And it came to pass, the next day, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples and a great multitude followed him.

12 And when he came near the gate of tho city, behold, they were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.

13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not.
