Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 7
⁴ When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, "He is worthy for You to grant this to him;
⁵ for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue."
⁶ Now Jesus started on His way with them; and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof;
⁷ for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
⁸ For I also am a man placed under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ’Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ’Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ’Do this!’ and he does it."
⁹ Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, "I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith."
¹⁰ When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
¹¹ Soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
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!"
