1 When|strong="G1525" Jesus|strong="G1525" had|strong="G3588" finished|strong="G4137" all|strong="G3956" he|strong="G3588" had|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" say|strong="G4487" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" people|strong="G2992", he|strong="G3588" entered|strong="G1525" Capernaum|strong="G2584".
2 A|strong="G2192" centurion|strong="G1543" in|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" Roman army had|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" slave|strong="G1401" whom|strong="G3739" he|strong="G1161" valued, and|strong="G1161" who|strong="G3739" was|strong="G1510" seriously ill|strong="G2192" – almost|strong="G3195" at|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" point|strong="G3195" of|strong="G1401" death.
3 And|strong="G1161", hearing about|strong="G4012" Jesus|strong="G2424", he|strong="G1161" sent|strong="G2424" some|strong="G3588" Jewish|strong="G2453" elders|strong="G4245" to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G3588", with|strong="G4314" the|strong="G1161" request|strong="G2065" that|strong="G3588" he|strong="G1161" would|strong="G2064" come|strong="G2064" and|strong="G1161" save|strong="G1295" his|strong="G4012" slave|strong="G1401"’s life|strong="G1295".
4 When|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" found|strong="G1510" Jesus|strong="G2424", they|strong="G1161" earnestly|strong="G4709" implored|strong="G3870" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G4314" help. ‘He|strong="G1161" deserves this|strong="G3778" favour from|strong="G3588" you|strong="G3739".’ they|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004",
5 ‘He|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" devoted to|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2532" people|strong="G1484", and|strong="G2532" even|strong="G2532" built|strong="G3618" our|strong="G2532" synagogue|strong="G4864" for|strong="G1063" us|strong="G2249".’
6 So|strong="G2443" Jesus|strong="G2424" went|strong="G4198" with|strong="G4862" them|strong="G3588". But|strong="G1161", when|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" was|strong="G1510" no|strong="G3756" great|strong="G3756" distance|strong="G3112" from|strong="G5259" the|strong="G1161" house|strong="G3614", the|strong="G1161" centurion|strong="G1543" sent|strong="G3992" some|strong="G3588" friends|strong="G5384" with|strong="G4862" the|strong="G1161" message – ‘Do|strong="G3004" not|strong="G3756" trouble|strong="G4660" yourself, Sir|strong="G2962"; for|strong="G1063" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" unworthy|strong="G3756" to|strong="G2443" receive you|strong="G3004" under|strong="G5259" my|strong="G1525" roof|strong="G4721".
7 That|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" why|strong="G1352" I|strong="G1473" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3761" even|strong="G2532" venture to|strong="G4314" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G4314" you|strong="G4771" myself|strong="G1683"; but|strong="G2532" speak|strong="G3004", and|strong="G2532" let|strong="G2532" my|strong="G1473" manservant be|strong="G2532" cured|strong="G2390".
8 For|strong="G1063" I|strong="G1473" myself|strong="G1683" am|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2192" man|strong="G3778" under|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" orders of|strong="G5259" others|strong="G3588", with|strong="G2532" soldiers|strong="G4757" under|strong="G5259" me|strong="G1473"; and|strong="G2532" if|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" say|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" one|strong="G3588" of|strong="G5259" them|strong="G3588" “Go|strong="G4198",” he|strong="G2532" goes|strong="G4198", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" another|strong="G3588" “Come|strong="G2064",” he|strong="G2532" comes|strong="G2064", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" my|strong="G1473" slave|strong="G1401" “Do|strong="G4160" this|strong="G3778",” he|strong="G2532" does|strong="G4160" it|strong="G2532".’
9 Jesus|strong="G2424" was|strong="G3588" surprised|strong="G2296" to|strong="G2532" hear these|strong="G3778" words|strong="G2532" from|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588"; and|strong="G2532", turning|strong="G4762" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" crowd|strong="G3793" which|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" following|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588", he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w I|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w tell|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*, nowhere \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w Israel|strong="G2474"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w I|strong="G2532"\+w* met \+w with|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w such|strong="G5118"\+w* \+w faith|strong="G4102"\+w* \+w as|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w this|strong="G3778"\+w*!’
10 And|strong="G2532", when|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" messengers returned|strong="G5290" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" house|strong="G3624", they|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" the|strong="G2532" slave|strong="G1401" recovered.
11 Shortly after|strong="G2532", Jesus|strong="G2532" went|strong="G4198" to|strong="G1519" a|strong="G1096" town|strong="G4172" called|strong="G2564" Nain|strong="G3484", his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101" and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G1096" great|strong="G4183" crowd|strong="G3793" going|strong="G4198" with|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588".
12 Just|strong="G5613" as|strong="G5613" he|strong="G2532" approached|strong="G1448" the|strong="G2532" gate|strong="G4439" of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G2532" town|strong="G4172", there|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G5613" dead|strong="G2348" man|strong="G2348" being|strong="G1510" carried|strong="G2532" out|strong="G2532" for|strong="G1161" burial – an|strong="G2532" only|strong="G3439" son|strong="G5207", and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3708" mother|strong="G3384" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G5613" widow|strong="G5503". A|strong="G5613" large|strong="G2425" number|strong="G3793" of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3793" of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G2532" town|strong="G4172" were|strong="G1510" with|strong="G4862" her|strong="G3708".
13 When|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G3708" her|strong="G1438", the|strong="G2532" Master|strong="G2962" was|strong="G3588" moved|strong="G4697" with|strong="G2532" compassion|strong="G4697" for|strong="G1909" her|strong="G1438", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" her|strong="G1438", ‘\+w Do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w weep|strong="G2799"\+w*.’
14 Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G4334" up|strong="G1453" and|strong="G2532" touched the|strong="G2532" bier|strong="G4673", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" bearers stopped|strong="G2476"; and|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w Young|strong="G3495"\+w* \+w man|strong="G3495"\+w*, \+w I|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w am|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w speaking|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w* – \+w Rise|strong="G1453"\+w*!’
15 The|strong="G2532" dead|strong="G3498" man|strong="G3498" sat|strong="G3498" up|strong="G1325" and|strong="G2532" began to|strong="G2532" talk|strong="G2980", and|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2532" restored him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" mother|strong="G3384".
16 Everyone|strong="G3956" was|strong="G3588" awe-struck and|strong="G2532" began|strong="G1161" praising|strong="G1392" God|strong="G2316". ‘A|strong="G2532" great|strong="G3173" prophet|strong="G4396" has|strong="G2316" arisen|strong="G1453" among|strong="G1722" us|strong="G3004",’ they|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004". ‘God|strong="G2316" has|strong="G2316" visited|strong="G1980" his|strong="G3956" people|strong="G2992".’
17 And|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" story|strong="G3056" about|strong="G4012" Jesus|strong="G1831" spread|strong="G1831" all|strong="G3956" through|strong="G1722" Judea|strong="G2449", and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" neighbouring countries as|strong="G1722" well|strong="G2532".
18 All|strong="G3956" these|strong="G3778" events were|strong="G3588" reported to|strong="G2532" John|strong="G2491" by|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3956" disciples|strong="G3101".
19 So|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" summoned|strong="G4341" two|strong="G1417" of|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G3992" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G4314" the|strong="G2532" Master|strong="G2962" to|strong="G4314" ask|strong="G3004" – ‘Are|strong="G1510" you|strong="G4771" “the|strong="G2532" coming|strong="G2064" one|strong="G5100",” or|strong="G2228" are|strong="G1510" we|strong="G2532" to|strong="G4314" look|strong="G4328" for|strong="G4314" someone|strong="G5100" else|strong="G2228"?’
20 When|strong="G1161" these|strong="G3588" men|strong="G3588" found|strong="G1510" Jesus|strong="G3004", they|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004", ‘John|strong="G2491" the|strong="G1161" Baptist has|strong="G1510" sent us|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" you|strong="G4771" to|strong="G4314" ask|strong="G3004" – Are|strong="G1510" you|strong="G4771" “the|strong="G1161" coming|strong="G2064" one|strong="G3588",” or|strong="G2228" are|strong="G1510" we|strong="G2249" to|strong="G4314" look|strong="G4328" for|strong="G4314" somebody else|strong="G2228"?’
21 At|strong="G1722" that|strong="G3588" very|strong="G4183" time|strong="G5610" Jesus|strong="G1565" had|strong="G2532" cured|strong="G2323" many|strong="G4183" people|strong="G4183" of|strong="G4151" diseases|strong="G3554", afflictions|strong="G3148", and|strong="G2532" wicked|strong="G4190" spirits|strong="G4151", and|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" given|strong="G5483" many|strong="G4183" blind|strong="G5185" people|strong="G4183" their|strong="G2532" sight|strong="G3588".
22 So|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3708" answer to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" question was|strong="G3739", ‘\+w Go|strong="G4198"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* report \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w John|strong="G2491"\+w* \+w what|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w witnessed|strong="G3708"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* heard – \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w blind|strong="G5185"\+w* recover \+w their|strong="G2532"\+w* sight, \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w lame|strong="G5560"\+w* \+w walk|strong="G4043"\+w*, \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w lepers|strong="G3015"\+w* \+w are|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w made|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w clean|strong="G2511"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w deaf|strong="G2974"\+w* hear, \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w dead|strong="G3498"\+w* \+w are|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w raised|strong="G1453"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w life|strong="G4043"\+w*, \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w good|strong="G2097"\+w* \+w news|strong="G2097"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w told|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w poor|strong="G4434"\+w*.

24 When|strong="G1161" John|strong="G2491"’s messengers had|strong="G3588" left|strong="G1831", Jesus|strong="G3004", speaking|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" crowds|strong="G3793", began|strong="G1161" to|strong="G1519" say|strong="G3004" with|strong="G4314" reference|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" John|strong="G2491",
