1 When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.

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

11 And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.

12 And as he came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.

21 In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
