1 When Jesus had finished everything he wanted to say to the people, he went to Capernaum. 2 There a Roman army officer's valuable slave was sick and near death. 3 The officer had heard about Jesus and sent some Jewish leaders to him. They were to ask Jesus to come and save the servant's life. 4 They came to Jesus and begged, |He deserves your help. 5 He loves our people and built our synagogue at his own expense.| 6 Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the officer sent friends to tell Jesus, |Sir, don't bother. I don't deserve to have you come into my house. 7 That's why I didn't come to you. But just give a command, and let my servant be cured. Luke 7:1-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
