Nowwhen he had endedallhissayingsin the audience of the people, he enteredintoCapernaum.
2
And a certaincenturion'sservant,whowasdear unto him,wassick, and ready to die.
3
And when he heardofJesus, he sentuntohim the elders of the Jews,beseechinghimthat he would come and healhisservant.
4
And when they cametoJesus, they besoughthiminstantly,saying, That he wasworthy for whom he should dothis:
5
For he lovethournation,andhe hath builtus a synagogue.
6
ThenJesuswentwiththem.And when hewasnownotfarfrom the house, the centurionsentfriendstohim,saying unto him,Lord,troublenotthyself: for I amnotworthythat thou shouldest enterundermyroof:
7
Whereforeneither thought Imyselfworthy to comeuntothee:butsay in a word,andmyservant shall be healed.
8
ForIalsoam a mansetunderauthority,havingundermesoldiers,and I say unto one,[a]Go, and he goeth; and to another,Come, and he cometh; and to myservant,Dothis,and he doeth it.
9
WhenJesusheard these things, he marvelled at him,and turned him about, and said unto the people that followedhim, I say unto you,I have not found so greatfaith, no, notinIsrael.
10
And they that were sent, returningto the house,found the servantwhole that had been sick.
11
And it came to pass* the day after, that he wentinto a citycalledNain;andmany of hisdisciples went withhim,andmuchpeople.
12
Nowwhen he came nigh to the gate of the city,behold*, there was a dead man carried out, the onlyson of hismother,andshewas a widow:andmuchpeople of the citywaswithher.
13
And when the Lordsawher, he had compassiononher,andsaid unto her,Weepnot.
14
And he came and touched the bier:[b]and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee,Arise.
15
And he that was dead sat up, andbegan to speak. And he deliveredhim to hismother.
16
And there came a fear on all:and they glorifiedGod,saying, That a greatprophet is risen upamongus;and,ThatGod hath visitedhispeople.
17
Andthisrumourofhim went forththroughoutallJudaea,andthroughoutall the region round about.
18
And the disciples of Johnshewedhimofall these things.
19
AndJohncalling unto him twoofhisdisciplessent them toJesus,saying, Artthou he that should come? or look we foranother?
20
When the men were comeuntohim, they said, JohnBaptist hath sentusuntothee,saying, Artthou he that should come? or look we foranother?
21
Andin that samehour he curedmanyof their infirmitiesandplagues,and of evilspirits;and unto many that were blind he gavesight.
22
ThenJesusansweringsaid unto them,Go your way, and tellJohn what things ye have seenandheard; how that the blindsee, the lamewalk, the lepers are cleansed, the deafhear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
