Luke 7:1-6

A Roman Commander Has Faith

1 Jesus finished saying all those things to the people. Then he entered Capernaum.

2 There the servant of a Roman commander was sick and about to die. His master thought highly of him.

3 The commander heard about Jesus. So he sent some elders of the Jews to him. He told them to ask Jesus to come and heal his servant.

4 They came to Jesus and begged him, "This man deserves to have you do this.

5 He loves our nation and has built our synagogue."

6 So Jesus went with them. When Jesus came near the house, the Roman commander sent friends to him. He told them to say, "Lord, don't trouble yourself. I am not good enough to have you come into my house.
