1. And when He completed all His words in the hearing of the people, He went into Kephar Naḥum.
2. And a certain captain’s servant, who was valuable to him, was sick and about to die.
3. And hearing about יהושע, he sent elders of the Yehuḏim to Him, asking Him to come and heal his servant.
4. And when they came to יהושע, they begged Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him,
5. for he loves our nation, and has built the congregation for us.”
6. So יהושע went with them. However, He was not far from the house when the captain sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Master, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should come under my roof.
7. “For this reason I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8. “For I too am a man appointed 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 when יהושע heard this, He marvelled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, not even in Yisra’ĕl have I found such great belief!”
10. And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant who had been sick in good health.
11. And it came to be the next day, that He went into a city called Na‛im. And many of His taught ones went with Him, and a large crowd.
12. And see, as He came near the gate of the city a dead man 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 Master saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
14. And coming near He touched the bier, and those bearing it stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
15. And he who was dead sat up and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother.
