Jesus had compassion on the people. Throughout the ministry of Christ, he continued to meet the needs of people. When John the Baptist was murdered, Jesus reacted not with thoughts of revenge or retribution, but the Scriptures record Jesus was ‘moved with compassion.’ Jesus recognized his original plan of ‘saving Israel’ was not working.

Chapter 21:  Jesus Raises the Widow’s Son (Part 1)

SOON afterwards Jesus set out to visit the city of Nain. His disciples and many people went with him.

            When they came near to the gate of the city, they saw a funeral.  The deceased was a young man, the only son of a widow. Many of the people of the city were with her.

            When Jesus saw the mother weeping, he was filled with compassion; and he said to her:

            “Weep not.”

            Then he touched the coffin; they who carried it stood still; and Jesus spoke, saying:

            “Young man, I say unto thee, ‘Arise.’”

            Thereupon, he who had been dead sat up and began to speak; and Jesus delivered the young man to his mother.

            Solemn wonder swept through the crowd.  Some said: “A great prophet is risen up among us. God hath visited his people.”

            And throughout all the region this story was spread.

Chapter 20: Jesus Heals The Centurion’s Servant

JESUS went to Capernaum after he had delivered the Sermon on the Mount.  A centurion, a Roman military officer, came to him and said:

            “Lord, my servant lieth at home, sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.”

            Jesus replies:

            “I will come and heal him.”

            Thereupon the centurion said:

            “Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my rood. But, speak the word only and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having sholdiers under me; and I say to this man, ‘Go,’ and he goeth; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he cometh; and to my servant, ‘Do this’, and he doeth it.”

            When Jesus heard these words, revealing the great faith of the centurion, he was deeply impressed and said to those who followed him:

            “Verily, I say unto you, ‘I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.’  And I say unto you that many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of Heaven.  But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness.  There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

            Jesus said to the centurion:

            “Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.”

            The servant was healed at that exact moment.
