1After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.

3When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

6Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.

11Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.

12Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
