Luke 7:4-14
-
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
-
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
-
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
-
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
-
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
-
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
-
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
-
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
-
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
-
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
-
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
