Luke 7:1-10 ▼

1 And when He completed all His words in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum.

2 And a certain servant of a centurion, who was valued highly to him, being ill, was about to die.

3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him that, having come, He might save his servant.

4 And having come to Jesus, they were imploring Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will grant this,

5 for he loves our nation, and he built the synagogue for us.”

6 And Jesus was going with them, and now in His being not far away from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not fit that You should enter under my roof.

7 Therefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to You. But say a word, and let my servant be healed.

8 For I also am a man appointed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does.”

9 And having heard these things, Jesus marveled at him. And having turned to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you?, not even in Israel did I find such great faith.”

10 And having returned to the house, those having been sent found the servant in good health.
