Luke 7
1 Now when he
had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people,
he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain
centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and
ready to die.
3 And when he heard
of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews,
beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they
came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That
he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our
nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then 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 enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore neither
thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a
word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 For I also am a
man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I
say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and
he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 When Jesus heard
these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about,
and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto
you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And they that
were sent, returning to the house, found the servant
whole that had been sick.
