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.
23
Andblessedis he, whosoevershallnot be offendedinme.
24
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speakunto the peopleconcerningJohn,What went ye outinto the wilderness for to see? A reedshakenwith the wind?
25
Butwhat went ye out for to see? A manclothedinsoftraiment?Behold, they which aregorgeouslyapparelled,andlivedelicately,arein kings' courts.
26
Butwhat went ye out for to see? A prophet?Yea, I say unto you,and much more than a prophet.
27
Thisis he, ofwhom it is written, Behold, Isendmymessengerbeforethyface,which shall preparethywaybeforethee.
28
For I say unto you,Among those that are born of women there isnot a greaterprophetthanJohn the Baptist:but he that is leastin the kingdom of Godis greater thanhe.
29
Andall the people that heard him, and the publicans,justifiedGod, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30
But the Phariseesandlawyersrejected[c] the counsel of Godagainstthemselves,beingnotbaptizedofhim.
31
And the Lordsaid, Whereuntothen shall I liken the men of thisgeneration?and to what are theylike?
32
They arelike unto childrensittingin the marketplace,andcalling one to another,andsaying, We have piped unto you,and ye havenotdanced; we have mourned to you,and ye havenotwept.
33
ForJohn the Baptistcameneithereatingbreadnordrinkingwine;and ye say, He hath a devil.
34
The Son of man is comeeatinganddrinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonousman,and a winebibber, a friend of publicansandsinners!
36
Andone of the Phariseesdesiredhimthat he would eatwithhim.And he wentinto the Pharisee'shouse, and sat down to meat.
37
And,behold, a womanin the city,whichwas a sinner, when she knewthat Jesus sat at meatin the Pharisee'shouse,brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38
Andstoodathisfeetbehind him weeping, and began to washhisfeet with tears,and did wipe them with the hairs of herhead,andkissedhisfeet,andanointed them with the ointment.
39
Now when the Phariseewhich had biddenhimsaw it, he spakewithinhimself,saying, This man,if he were a prophet*, would have knownwhoand what manner of woman this is thattouchethhim:for she is a sinner.
40
AndJesusansweringsaiduntohim,Simon, I havesomewhat to say unto thee.And he saith, Master, say on.
