Luke 7:1-7

1 Now when he had ended all his words in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2 And a certain centurion’s slave, who was dear unto him, was sick and ready to die.

3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and free his slave.

4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he is worthy that this should be done for him,

5 for he loves our nation and he has built us a synagogue.

6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou should enter under my roof;

7 therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee but say the word, and my slave shall be healed.
