3
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5
For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof;
7
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee; but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8
For I also am a man set under 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 doeth [it].
9
When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned himself about and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.
11
And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain: and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.
12
Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her.
13
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.
