Luke 7:1-10
1Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant Matthew 8:5-13; John 4:43-54After Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
had finished saying all these things ▼▼Lit. finished all his sayings
in the hearing of the people, he went to Capernaum.Matt 8:5 2There a centurion's servant, whom he valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3When the centurion ▼▼Lit. he
heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him to ask him to come and save his servant's life. 4So they went to Jesus and begged him repeatedly, “He deserves to have this done for him, 5because he loves our people and built our synagogue for us.” 6So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to tell Jesus, ▼▼Lit. him
“Sir, ▼▼Or Lord
stop troubling yourself. For I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. ▼▼Lit. under my roof
7That's why I didn't presume to come to you. But just say the word, and let my servant be healed. 8For I, too, am a man under authority and have soldiers under me. I say to one ‘Go’ and he goes, to another ‘Come’ and he comes, and to my servant ‘Do this’ and he does it.” 9When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found this kind of faith!” 10Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant in perfect health. John 4:43-54
43Jesus Heals an Official's SonTwo days later, Jesus ▼▼Lit. he
went from that place to Galilee. 44For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.Matt 13:57; Mark 6:4; Luke 4:24 45When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him because they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the festival. For they, too, had gone to the festival.Deut 16:16; John 2:23; 3:2 46So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Meanwhile, in Capernaum there was a government official whose son was ill.John 2:1, 11 47When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him repeatedly to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die. 48Jesus told him, “Unless you people ▼▼Lit. you (pl.)
see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”1Cor 1:22 49The official said to him, “Sir, ▼▼Or Lord
please come down before my little boy dies.” 50Jesus said to him, “Go home. Your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus told him and started on his way. 51While he was on his way down, his servants met him and told him that his child ▼▼Other mss. read son
was alive. 52So he asked them at what hour he had begun to recover, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon.” ▼▼Lit. the seventh hour
53Then the father realized that this was the very hour when Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, along with his whole family. 54Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
