Luke 7:1-5 ▼

1 And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2 And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;

3 and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.

4 But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,

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