Luke 7:1-15 ▼

1 And when He completed all His words in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum.

2 And a certain servant of a centurion, who was valued highly to him, being ill, was about to die.

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

4 And having come to Jesus, they were imploring Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will grant this,

5 for he loves our nation, and he built the synagogue for us.”

6 And Jesus was going with them, and now in His being not far away from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not fit that You should enter under my roof.

7 Therefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to You. But say a word, and let my servant be healed.

8 For I also am a man appointed under authority, having 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.”

9 And having heard these things, Jesus marveled at him. And having turned to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you?, not even in Israel did I find such great faith.”

10 And having returned to the house, those having been sent found the servant in good health.

11 And it came to pass on the next day that He went into a city called Nain, and His disciples were going with Him, and a great crowd.

12 And as He drew near to the gate of the city, then, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only begotten son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd of the city was with her.

13 And having seen her, the Lord was moved with compassion toward her and said to her, “Do not weep.”

14 And having come up, He touched the bier; and those bearing it stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise!”

15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother.
