7 neither do I consider myself worthy to come to you in person. Just give the order, and my servant will get well.
8 I, too, am a man placed under the authority of superior officers, and I have soldiers under me. I order this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; I order that one, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and I order my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
9 Jesus was surprised when he heard this; he turned around and said to the crowd following him, “I tell you, I have never found faith like this, not even in Israel!”
10 The messengers went back to the officer's house and found his servant well.
11 Soon afterward Jesus went to a town named Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large crowd.
12 Just as he arrived at the gate of the town, a funeral procession was coming out. The dead man was the only son of a woman who was a widow, and a large crowd from the town was with her.
13 When the Lord saw her, his heart was filled with pity for her, and he said to her, “Don't cry.”
