Luke 7:11-23

New King James Version

Jesus Raises the Son of the Widow of Nain

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 ^(A)compassion on her and said to her, ^(B)“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, ^(C)arise.” ¹⁵ So he who was dead ^(D)sat up and began to speak. And He ^(E)presented him to his mother.

^16 (F)Then fear ^[a]came upon all, and they ^(G)glorified God, saying, ^(H)“A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, ^(I)“God has visited His people.” ¹⁷ And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.

John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus^(J)

^18 (K)Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things. ¹⁹ And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to ^[b]Jesus, saying, “Are You ^(L)the Coming One, or ^[c]do we look for another?”

²⁰ When the men had come to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?’ ” ²¹ And that very hour He cured many of ^[d]infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.

^22 (M)Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: ^(N)that the blind ^(O)see, the lame ^(P)walk, the lepers are ^(Q)cleansed, the deaf ^(R)hear, the dead are raised, ^(S)the poor have the gospel preached to them. ²³ And blessed is he who is not ^[e]offended because of Me.”
