1. When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum.
2. There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.
3. The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.
4. When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this,
5. because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
6. So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof.
7. That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
