3. When he heard about Yeshua, he sent to him Jewish elders, asking him to come and save his servant.
4. When they came to Yeshua, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5. for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6. Yeshua went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7. Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8. For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9. When Yeshua heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
10. Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11. Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12. Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14. He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15. He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16. Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen amongst us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
