Luke 7:1–10

Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant

7After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, ^bhe entered Capernaum. ²Now a centurion had a servant¹ who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. ³When the centurion² heard about Jesus, ^che sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. ⁴And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, ^d“He is worthy to have you do this for him, ⁵for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us ^eour synagogue.” ⁶And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, ^fdo not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. ⁷Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But ^gsay the word, and let my servant be healed. ⁸For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and 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.” ⁹When Jesus heard these things, ^hhe marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such ⁱfaith.” ¹⁰And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.
