Luke 7:11-25 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. And it happened that on the next day he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.

12. And as he approached the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

13. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep!”

14. And he came up and touched the bier, and those who were carrying it stopped. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”

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

16. And fear seized them all, and they began to glorify God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us!” and “God has visited to help his people!”

17. And this report about him went out in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.

18. And his disciples reported to John about all these things. And summoning a certain two of his disciples, John

19. sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”

20. And when the men came to him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’ ”

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

22. And he answered and said to them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear; the dead are raised, the poor have good news announced to them.

23. And whoever is not offended by me is blessed.”

24. And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

25. But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and luxury are in the royal palaces.
