Context of Luke 7:9
7That is why I did not come to talk to you myself. Instead, just say that my servant will get better. I know that he will then be well again. 8In my work, someone has authority over me. I also have authority over other soldiers. I say to one soldier, “Go!” and he goes. I say to another one, “Come!” and he comes. I say to my servant, “Do this!” and he does it.’ When Jesus heard this message from the officer, he was very surprised. He turned towards the crowd that was following him. He said to them, ‘I tell you, I have not found anyone like this man in all of Israel. Nobody else believes in me as well as he does.’ 10The friends of the officer then returned to his house. When they arrived there, they saw that the servant was well again. 11The next day, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large group of other people went with him.
