7 That is why I didn’t even consider myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be cured.
8 For I too am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under my command. I say to this one, ‘Go! ’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come! ’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this! ’ and he does it.”
9 Jesus heard this and was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, I have not found so great a faith even in Israel! ”
10 When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
11 Soon afterward He was on His way to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were traveling with Him.
12 Just as He neared the gate of the town, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was also with her.
13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Don’t cry.”
