When the centurion<n id="1" /> heard<n id="2" /> about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders<n id="3" /> to him, asking him to come<n id="4" /> and heal his slave.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Soon<n id="1" /> afterward<n id="2" /> Jesus<n id="3" /> went to a town<n id="4" /> called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.

I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater<n id="1" /> than John.<n id="2" /> Yet the one who is least<n id="3" /> in the kingdom of God<n id="4" /> is greater than he is.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now one of the Pharisees<n id="1" /> asked Jesus<n id="2" /> to have dinner with him, so<n id="3" /> he went into the Pharisee&#8217;s house and took his place at the table.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now Jesus&#8217;<n id="1" /> mother and his brothers<n id="2" /> came to him, but<n id="3" /> they could not get near him because of the crowd.

The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go<n id="1" /> with him, but Jesus<n id="2" /> sent him away, saying,

<p class="bodytext">While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue ruler&#8217;s<n id="1" /> house came and said, &#8220;Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer.&#8221;
