3
And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.
4
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him.
5
For he loveth our nation: and he hath built us a synagogue.
6
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof.
7
For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8
For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.
9
Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.
10
And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.
11
And it came to pass afterwards that he went into a city that is called Naim: and there went with him his disciples and a great multitude.
12
And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother: and she was a widow. And a great multitude of the city was with her.
13
Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.
