Luke 7:1-13 ▼

1 When He completed all His words in the ears of the people, He came into Capernaum.

2 And the servant of a certain centurion, being sick, was about to die, who was precious to him.

3 And hearing about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him that having come He may save his servant.

4 And they, having come to Jesus, continued to entreat Him earnestly, saying, That he to whom He will do this is worthy:

5 for he loves our race, and himself built for us a synagogue.

6 And Jesus went along with them. And already He being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, Lord, be not troubled: for I am not worthy that you may come in under my roof:

7 Therefore I did not count myself worthy to come to thee; but speak the word, and my servant shall be healed.

8 For I am also a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

9 And Jesus, having heard these words, was astonished at him, and turning to the multitude following said, I say unto you, I did not find so great faith in Israel.

10 And those having been sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.

11 And it came to pass consecutively, He departed into a city called Nain; and His many disciples and a great multitude went along with Him.

12 And when He drew nigh unto the gate of the city, behold, a dead man, an only born son to his mother, and she a widow, was indeed being carried out: and a great multitude of the city was along with her.

13 And the Lord seeing her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, Weep not.
