And when he heardofJesus, he sentuntohim the elders of the Jews,beseechinghimthat he would come and healhisservant.
4
And when they cametoJesus, they besoughthiminstantly,saying, That he wasworthy for whom he should dothis:

ThenJesuswentwiththem.And when hewasnownotfarfrom the house, the centurionsentfriendstohim,saying unto him,Lord,troublenotthyself: for I amnotworthythat thou shouldest enterundermyroof:
7
Whereforeneither thought Imyselfworthy to comeuntothee:butsay in a word,andmyservant shall be healed.
