2. Now the servant of a certain centurion was dying, due to an illness. And he was very dear to him.
3. And when he had heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, petitioning him, so that he would come and heal his servant.
4. And when they had come to Jesus, they petitioned him anxiously, saying to him: "He is worthy that you should provide this to him.
5. For he loves our nation, and he has built a synagogue for us."
6. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying: "Lord, do not trouble yourself. For I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof.
7. Because of this, I also did not consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8. For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
9. And upon hearing this, Jesus was amazed. And turning to the multitude following him, he said, "Amen I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith."
10. And those who had been sent, upon returning to the house, found that the servant, who had been sick, was now healthy.
11. And it happened afterwards that he went to a city, which is called Nain. And his disciples, and an abundant crowd, went with him.
12. Then, when he had drawn near to the gate of the city, behold, a deceased person 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.
