3
When he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his slave.
4
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy to have you do this for him,
5
for he loves our nation, and he built us our synagogue."
6
And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof;
7
therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed.
8
For I am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."
9
When Jesus heard this he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude that followed him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."
10
And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave well.
11
Soon afterward he went to a city called Na'in, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
12
As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her.
13
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
