CHAPTER y


the widows son. "a Christ's
testimony of John
Now when he had ended all his
sayings in the audience of the peo-
pie, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's serv-
ant, who was dear unto him, was
sick, and ready to die.
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 And when they came to Jesus,
they besought him instantly, saying,
That he was worthy for whom he
should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and
he hath built us synagogue.
6 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 myself; for / am not
worthy that thou shouldest enter
under my roof:
Z Wherefore neither thought l
myself worthy to come unto thee:
but. say in a word, and my servant
shall be healed.
thority, having under me soldiers,
and / say unto one, Go, and he
goeth; and TO another, Come, and
he cometh and to my servant, Do
this, and he doeth it.
. When Jesus heard these things,
he marvelled at him, and turned him
about, and said unto the people that
followed him, say unto you, l have
Faa& in
Israel
10 And they that were sent, re-
turning to the house, found the
servant whole that had been sick.
IL And it came to pass the day
after, that he went into a city call
ed Main; and many of his disciples
went with him, and much people.
II 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.
13 And when the Lord saw her,
he had compassion on her, and said
unto her, Weep not
IA And he came and touched the
bier: and they that bare him stood
still. And he said, Young man, l
say unto thee, Arise.
10 And he that was dead sat up,
and began to speak. And he deliver
ed him to his mother.
Is And there came q fear on all:
and they glOrified God, saying, That
a great prophet is risen up among
us; and, That God hath visited his
people.
II And this rumor of him went
forth throughout all Judea, and
throughout all the region round
about.
II And the disciples of John
showed him all of these things.
10 And John calling unto him
two of his disciples sent them to
Jesus, saying, Art thou he that
should come? or look we for an
other?
20 When the men were come un-
to him, they said, John Baptist hath
sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou
he that should come? or look we
for another?
Fl And in that same hour he
cured many of their infirmitties and
plaques, and of evil spirits; and un-
to many that were blind he gave
sight.
% Then Jesus answering said un-
to them, Go your way, and tell John
what things have We 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 blessed is he, whatsoever
shall not be offended in me.
"a And when the messengers of
John were departed, he bagan to
speak anto the people concerning
John, What went We out into the
wilderness for to see? A reed shak
en- with the wind?
25 But what went We out for to
see? A man clothed in soft raiment?
Behold, they which are gorgeuusly
apparelled, and live delicately, are
in kings courts.
26 But what went We out for to
see? A prophet? Yea, / say unto
you, and much more than a prophet
81 This is he, of whom it is writ
ten, Behold, l send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare
thy way before thee.
% For / say unto you, Among
those that are born of women there
Is not greater prophet than John
the Baptist: but he that is least in
the kingdom of God is greater than
he.
20 And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified
God, being baptized with the bap-
tism Of John.
80 But the Pharisees and lawyers
rejected the counsel of God against
themselves, being not baptized Of
him.
81 And the Lord said, Whereunto
then shall / liken the men of this
generation? and to what are they
like?
80 They are like unto children
