1. After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2. A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3. When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4. When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5. for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6. Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7. Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
