Luke 7:1-17 ▼

1 When he had ended all his sayinges, in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.

2 And a certayne Centurions seruaunt, which was deare vnto hym, lay sicke, and was in peryll of death.

3 And when he hearde of Iesus, he sent vnto hym the elders of the Iewes, besechyng hym that he woulde come, and heale his seruaunt.

4 And when they came to Iesus, they besought hym instantly, saying he is worthy that thou shouldest do this for hym.

5 For he loueth our nation, and hath built vs a synagogue.

6 Then Iesus went with them. And when he was nowe not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to hym, saying vnto hym: Lorde, trouble not thy selfe, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe.

7 Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say thou the worde, & my seruaunt shalbe whole.

8 For I also am a man, set vnder power, and haue vnder me souldiers: and I say vnto one go, and he goeth: and to another, come, and he commeth: and to my seruaunt, do this, and he doth it.

9 When Iesus hearde these thynges, he marueyled at hym, and turned hym about, and sayde to the people that folowed hym: I say vnto you, I haue not founde so great fayth, no, not in Israel.

10 And they that were sent, turned backe home agayne, and founde the seruaunt whole, that had ben sicke.

11 And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie, which is called Naim: and many of his disciples went with hym, and much people.

12 When he came nye to the gate of the citie, beholde, there was a dead man caryed out, which was the only sonne of his mother, and she was a widdowe: And much people of the citie was with her.

13 And when the Lorde sawe her, he had compassion on her, and sayde vnto her: Weepe not.

14 And he came nye, & touched the beere, (and they that bare hym stoode styll) And he sayde: Young man, I say vnto thee, aryse.

15 And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake: And he delyuered hym to his mother.

16 And there came a feare on them all, & they gaue the glory vnto God, saying: A great prophete is risen vp among vs, and veryly God hath visited his people.

17 And this rumour of hym went foorth throughout all Iurie, & throughout all the regions which lye rounde about.
