Luke 7:1-7 ▼

1 When He had concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.

2 A centurion’s slave, 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 slave.

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 cured.
