Context of Luke 7:9
7That is why I didn’t consider myself worthy to come to You. But say the word and let my servant be healed. 8For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” Now when Yeshua heard this, He was amazed at him. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.” 10When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health. 11The next day Yeshua traveled to a town called Nain, and coming along with Him were His disciples and a large crowd.
