1
Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2
And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.
3
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5
For he loveth our nation, and he hath 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 to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof;
7
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee; but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8
For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
