1 And when he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die. 3 But when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant. 4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying: He is worthy for whom thou shouldst do this; 5 for he loves our nation, and of his own accord has built us a synagogue. 6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, and said to him: Lord, give thyself no trouble; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof. 7 For which reason, neither did I count myself worthy to go to thee; but command in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
