Context of Luke 7:9

7Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed. 8For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it]. And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith. 10And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health. 11And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
