7. Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed.
8. For I too 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 servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9. When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “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 servant well.
11. Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
12. As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her.
13. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
14. Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
15. And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
16. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”
17. And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.
18. The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John,
19. calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?”
20. And when the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?’”
