Luke 7:6-23 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

6. And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.

7. Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.

8. For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.

9. And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

10. And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.

11. And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.

12. And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city was with her.

13. And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;

14. and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.

15. And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.

16. And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.

17. And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.

18. And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:

19. and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?

20. But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?

21. In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.

22. And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;

23. and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
