Luke 7:1-17.
Luke 7:1-17 (GNT)
1 "When Jesus had finished saying all these things to the people, he
went to Capernaum. 2 A Roman officer there had a servant who was very
dear to him; the man was sick and about to die. 3 When the officer
heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask him to come and
heal his servant. 4 They came to Jesus and begged him earnestly, "This
man really deserves your help. 5 He loves our people and he himself
built a synagogue for us. " 6 So Jesus went with them. He was not far
from the house when the officer sent friends to tell him, "Sir, don't
trouble yourself. I do not deserve to have you come into my house, 7
neither do I consider myself worthy to come to you in person. Just
give the order, and my servant will get well. 8 I, too, am a man
placed under the authority of superior officers, and I have soldiers
under me. I order this one, "Go!" and he goes; I order that one,
"Come!" and he comes; and I order my slave, "Do this!" and he does it.
" 9 Jesus was surprised when he heard this; he turned around and said
to the crowd following him, "I tell you, I have never found faith like
this, not even in Israel!" 10 The messengers went back to the
officer's house and found his servant well. 11 Soon afterward Jesus
went to a town named Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large
crowd. 12 Just as he arrived at the gate of the town, a funeral
procession was coming out. The dead man was the only son of a woman
who was a widow, and a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When
the Lord saw her, his heart was filled with pity for her, and he said
to her, "Don't cry." 14 Then he walked over and touched the coffin,
and the men carrying it stopped. Jesus said, "Young man! Get up, I
tell you!" 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave
him back to his mother. 16 They all were filled with fear and praised
God. "A great prophet has appeared among us!" they said; "God has come
to save his people!" 17 This news about Jesus went out through all the
country and the surrounding territory."
Please say this prayer:
Father God, forgive my sins. Thnak you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
