Luke 7:1-7 ▼

1 When he had concluded saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum.

2 A centurion’s servant, who was highly valued by him, was sick and about to die.

3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, requesting him to come and save the life of his servant.

4 When they reached Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to grant this,

5 because he loves our nation and has built us a synagogue.”

6 Jesus went with them, and when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, since I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

7 That is why I didn’t even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
