Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 7
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!"
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.
