Pure Cambridge Edition selected
¶ And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
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.
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.
And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
¶ And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

    2Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

    3And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

    4Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

    5The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

    6And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

    7¶ And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

    8But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

    9But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

    10For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

    11Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

    12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

    13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

    14And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

    15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    16¶ But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

    17And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

    18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

    19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
