7:1 After Jesus 1 had finished teaching all this to the people, 2 he entered Capernaum. 3 7:2 A centurion 4 there 5 had a slave 6 who was highly regarded, 7 but who was sick and at the point of death. 7:3 When the centurion 8 heard 9 about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders 10 to him, asking him to come 11 and heal his slave. 7:4 When 12 they came 13 to Jesus, they urged 14 him earnestly, 15 “He is worthy 16 to have you do this for him, 7:5 because he loves our nation, 17 and even 18 built our synagogue.” 19 7:6 So 20 Jesus went with them. When 21 he was not far from the house, the centurion 22 sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, 23 for I am not worthy 24 to have you come under my roof. 7:7 That is why 25 I did not presume 26 to come to you. Instead, say the word, and my servant must be healed. 27 7:8 For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me. 28 I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, 29 and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 30 7:9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed 31 at him. He turned and said to the crowd that followed him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith!” 32 7:10 So 33 when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave 34 well.
7:11 Soon 35 afterward 36 Jesus 37 went to a town 38 called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. 7:12 As he approached the town gate, a man 39 who had died was being carried out, 40 the only son of his mother (who 41 was a widow 42 ), and a large crowd from the town 43 was with her. 7:13 When 44 the Lord saw her, he had compassion 45 for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 46 7:14 Then 47 he came up 48 and touched 49 the bier, 50 and those who carried it stood still. He 51 said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
