Luke 7:7-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

7. Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed.

8. For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come here,’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

9. When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.”

10. When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

11. Soon afterward he journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.

12. As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.

13. When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
