Luke

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings" courts.

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.

And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

For I also am a man set under authority, having 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.

Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

Then Jesus went with them. And 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:

For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

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.
