Luke 7:1-13 ▼

1 And when he completed all his words in the ears of the people, he came to Capernaum.

2 And a certain centurion's servant being sick, was about to die; which was highly valued by him.

3 And having heard of Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him, that having come, he would save his servant.

4 And they approaching to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, That he is worthy to whom he will bestow this:

5 For he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.

6 And Jesus went with them. And now he being away not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not fit that thou shouldest come under my roof;

7 Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but speak in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

8 For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself, and I say to this, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes: and to my servant, Do this, and he does.

9 And Jesus having heard these, wondered at him, and having turned to the crowd following him, he said, I say to you, Neither have I found so much faith in Israel.

10 And those sent, having turned back to the house, found the servant being sick, restored to health.

11 And it was in continuation he went to a city called Nain; and sufficient of his disciples went with him, and a great crowd.

12 And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, he dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow; and a sufficient crowd of the city was with her.

13 And having seen her, the Lord felt compassion for her and said to her, Weep not.
