New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 7
¹² Now as He approached the gate of the city, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her.
¹³ When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."
¹⁴ And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise!"
¹⁵ The dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother.
¹⁶ Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited His people!"
¹⁷ This report concerning Him went out all over Judea and in all the surrounding district.
¹⁸ The disciples of John reported to him about all these things.
¹⁹ Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?"
²⁰ When the men came to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, ’Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?’"
²¹ At that very time He cured many people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind.
²² And He answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.
