Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant
1 hAfter he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. 2 Now a centurion had a servant1 who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. 3 When the centurion2 heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant.
6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.”
4 And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us our synagogue.”
7 And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
6 And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. 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.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, pwith no one in Israel1 have I found such faith. 11 I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with qAbraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 while the sons of the kingdom will be rthrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you sas you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.
10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.
Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son
11 jSoon afterward1 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, k“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, land Jesus2 gave him to his mother. 16 mFear seized them all, and they nglorified God, saying, “A great oprophet has arisen among us!” and p“God has visited his people!” 17 And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.
