Luke 7:1-18

1 And when he had fulfilled all his words into the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 But a servant of a centurion, that was precious to him, was sick, and drawing to the death. [Soothly a servant of some man centurion, having evil, was to die, the which was precious to him.]
3 And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elder men of Jews, and prayed him [praying him], that he would come, and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they prayed him busily, and said to him, For he is worthy, that thou grant to him this thing; [And, when they came to Jesus, they prayed busily, saying to him, For he is worthy that thou give to him this thing;]
5 for he loveth our folk, and he builded to us a synagogue. [for he loveth our folk, and he built to us a synagogue.]
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, and said [saying], Lord, do not thou be travailed, for I am not worthy, that thou enter under my roof;
7 for which thing I deemed not myself worthy, that I come to thee; but say thou by word, and my child shall be healed.
8 For I am a man ordained under power, and have knights under me [having under me knights]; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this thing, and he doeth [it].
9 And when this thing was heard, Jesus wondered; [and he turned,] and said to the people following him, Truly I say to you, neither in Israel I found so great faith [not in Israel I found so great faith].
10 And they that were sent, turned again home, and found the servant whole [found the servant whole], that was sick.
11 And it was done afterward, Jesus went into a city, that is called Nain, and his disciples; and full great people went with him. [+And it was done afterward Jesus went into a city, that is called Nain, and his disciples went with him, and a full great company of people.]
12 And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, lo! the son of a woman that had no more children, was borne out dead [lo! an only son of his mother was borne out dead]; and this was a widow; and much people of the city [was] with her.
13 And when the Lord Jesus had seen her, he had ruth on her, and said to her, Do not thou weep.
14 And he came nigh, and touched the bier [And he came, and touched the bier]; and they that bare the bier stood. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, rise up.
15 And he that was dead sat up again, and began to speak [And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak]; and he gave him to his mother.
16 And dread took all men, and they magnified God, and said [saying], For a great prophet is risen among us, and, For God hath visited his people.
17 And this word went out of him into all Judaea, and into all the country about.
18 And John's disciples told him of all these things. [And the disciples of John told to him of all these things.]
