Bible verse
For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
Luke 7:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 7.
4 They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
5 for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
6 So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
7 That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
10 And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
12 As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
