7:7. For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee:
but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
7:8. For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers:
and I say to one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh;
and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.
7:9. Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude
that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great
faith, not even in Israel.
7:10. And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the
servant whole who had been sick.
7:11. And 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.
7:12. And 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.
7:13. Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her,
he said to her: Weep not.
7:14. And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it
stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.
7:15. And he that was dead sat up and begun to speak. And he gave him to
his mother.
7:16. And there came a fear upon them all: and they glorified God
saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his
people.
7:17. And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea and
throughout all the country round about.
7:18. And John's disciples told him of all these things.
7:19. And John called to him two of his disciples and sent them to
Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another?
7:20. And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist
hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we
for another?
7:21. (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.)
7:22. And 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.
7:23. And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.
7:24. And 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?
7:25. But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments?
Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately are in the
houses of kings.
7:26. But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and
more than a prophet.
7:27. This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before
thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
7:28. For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of men, there is not
a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in
the kingdom of God is greater than he.
