Luke 7:1-7

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.
7 That is why I did not even think I was fit to come to you. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
