The Scriptures 1998

Luke 7:9-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

9. And when יהושע heard this, He marvelled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, not even in Yisra’ĕl have I found such great belief!”

10. And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant who had been sick in good health.

11. And it came to be the next day, that He went into a city called Na‛im. And many of His taught ones went with Him, and a large crowd.

12. And see, as He came near the gate of the city a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.

13. And when the Master saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”

14. And coming near He touched the bier, and those bearing it stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”

15. And he who was dead sat up and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother.

16. And fear seized all, and they praised Elohim, saying, “A great prophet has been raised up among us,” and, “Elohim has visited His people.”

17. And this news about Him went out in all Yehuḏah and all the neighbourhood.

18. And the taught ones of Yoḥanan reported to him about all this.

19. And Yoḥanan, calling two of his taught ones near, sent to יהושע, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or should we look for another?”

20. And coming to Him, the men said, “Yoḥanan the Immerser has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the Coming One, or should we look for another?’ ”

21. And in the same hour He healed many of diseases, and afflictions, and wicked spirits. And He gave sight to many blind ones.

22. And יהושע answering, said to them, “Go, report to Yoḥanan what you have seen and heard: blind receive sight, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, the Good News is brought to the poor.
