Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 7
⁴ And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,
⁵ "for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue."
⁶ Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.
⁷ Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
⁸ For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ’Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ’Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ’Do this,’ and he does it."
⁹ When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, "I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!"
¹⁰ And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick.
¹¹ Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.
¹² And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
¹³ When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
¹⁴ Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."
