Luke 7:1–10

After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

²And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death. ³And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews; asking him that he would come and save his servant. ⁴And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him; ⁵for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue. ⁶And 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 shouldest come under my roof: ⁷wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed. ⁸For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. ⁹And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. ¹⁰And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.
