1 NOW after he had finished all these sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 And the servant of a certain centurion, who was very valuable to him, being seized with an illness, was ready to die. 3 But when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, entreating him that he would come and preserve the life of his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him importunately, saying, He is a worthy man on whom thou wilt confer this favour: 5 for he loveth our nation, and hath himself built us a synagogue. 6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion dispatched towards him friends, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not deserving that thou shouldest enter beneath my roof. 7 Therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee, but speak in a word, and my servant will be cured.
