7. I am not even worthy to come and meet you. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.
8. I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”
9. When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!”
10. And when the officer’s friends returned to his house, they found the slave completely healed.
11. Soon afterward Jesus went with his disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed him.
12. A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her.
13. When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. “Don’t cry!” he said.
