2And the servant of a certain centurion, who was dear to him, being sick, was ready to die.

3And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.

4And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him.

6And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.

11And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.

12And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.

13Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.

16And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.

21(And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases, and hurts, and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.)

22And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached:

24And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?

36And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.

39And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
