Luke 7:8-24
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
8For I too am a man set under authority, with 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." 9When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." 10And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.
11Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
12As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her.
13And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
14Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."
15And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
16Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people!"
17And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.
18The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John,
19calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?"
20And when the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?’"
21In that hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he bestowed sight.
22And he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them.
23And blessed is the one who is not offended by me."
