1. When He had completed all His words in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.
2. Now a centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.
3. When he heard of Jesus, he sent the elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him to come and heal his servant.
4. When they came to Jesus, they asked Him earnestly, saying, “You should do this for him for he is worthy,
5. for he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue.”
6. So Jesus went with them.When He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
7. Likewise, I did not think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8. For I myself am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
