Luke 7:1-18

A Centurion’s Slave Healed

1 After he had finished all his statements in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2 Now a certain centurion's slave, who was esteemed by him, {was sick} [and] was about to die.

3 So [when he] heard about Jesus, he sent Jewish elders to him, asking him that he would come [and] cure his slave.

4 And [when they] came to Jesus, they began imploring him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy [that] you grant this for him,

5 because he loves our nation and he himself built the synagogue for us."

6 So Jesus went with them. Now by this time he was not far away from the house, [and] the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof.

7 For this reason neither did I consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and my slave must be healed.

8 For I also am a man placed under authority, who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another one, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does [it]."

9 And [when] Jesus heard these [things], he marveled at him, and turning around to the crowd that was following him, he said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!"

10 And [when they] returned to the house, those who had been sent found the slave healthy.

A Widow’s Son Raised

11 And it happened that on the next [day] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.

12 And as he approached the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, his mother's only son, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

13 And [when] the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, "Do not weep!"

14 And he came up [and] touched the bier, and those who were carrying [it] stopped. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"

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

16 And fear seized [them] all, and they began to glorify God, saying, "A great prophet has appeared among us!" and "God has visited to help his people!"

17 And this report about him went out in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.

A Question from John the Baptist

18 And his disciples reported to John about all these [things]. And summoning a certain two of his disciples, John
