Luke 7

¹After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.

²And a certain captain had a servant who was very dear to him; this servant was ill and near to death.

³And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.

⁴And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,

⁵It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.

⁶And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:

⁷And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.

⁸For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

⁹And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

¹⁰And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.

¹¹And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people.

Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.
