New Testament in a Year
7 1 Of the Centurion’s servant. 9 The Centurion’s faith. 11 The widow’s son raised from death at Nain. 19 John sendeth his disciples to Christ. 33 His peculiar kind of living. 37 The sinful woman washeth Jesus’ feet.
1 When (A)[a]he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain Centurion’s servant was sick and ready to die, which was dear unto him.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the Elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come, and heal his servant.
4 So they came to Jesus, and besought him instantly, saying that he was worthy that he should do this for him:
5 For he loveth, said they, our nation, and he hath built us a Synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them: but when he was now not far from the house, the Centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore I thought not myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be whole:
8 For I likewise am a man set under authority, and have under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh: and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned him, and said to the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 And when they that were sent, turned back to the house, they found the servant that was sick, whole.
11 [b]And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called [c]Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, who was the only begotten son of his mother, which was a widow, and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stood still) and he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak, and he delivered him to his mother.
16 Then there came a fear on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among us, and God hath visited his people.
17 And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 [d]And the disciples of John showed him of all these things.
19 So John called unto him two certain men of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come, or shall we wait for another?
20 And when the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come, or shall we wait for another?
21 And [e]at that time, he cured many of their sicknesses, and plagues, and of evil spirits, and unto many blind men he gave sight freely.
22 And Jesus answered, and said unto them, Go your ways and show John, what things ye have seen and heard, that the blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor receive the Gospel.
23 And blessed is he, that shall not be offended in me.
24 [f]And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people of John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they which are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in Kings’ courts.
26 But what went ye forth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater than a Prophet.
27 This is he of whom it is written, (B)Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 For I say unto you, there is no greater Prophet than John, among them that are begotten of women: nevertheless, he that is the least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
29 Then all the people that heard, and the Publicans [g]justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees and the expounders of the Law despised the counsel of God [h]against themselves, and were not baptized of him.
