1. After he had finished all his statements in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2. Now a certain centurion’s slave, who was esteemed by him, was sick and was about to die.
3. So when he heard about Jesus, he sent Jewish elders to him, asking him that he would come and cure his slave.
4. And when they came to Jesus, they began imploring him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy that you grant this for him,
5. because he loves our nation and he himself built the synagogue for us.”
6. So Jesus went with them. Now by this time he was not far away from the house, and the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof.
7. For this reason neither did I consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and my slave must be healed.
8. For I also am a man placed under authority, who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another one, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
9. And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning around to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”
10. And when they returned to the house, those who had been sent found the slave healthy.
11. And it happened that on the next day he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.
12. And as he approached the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
13. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep!”
