Luke 7:1-7 ▼

1 And when He completed all His sayings in the ears of the people, He went into Capernaum;

2 and a certain centurion’s servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,

3 and having heard about Jesus, he sent to Him elders of the Jews, imploring Him, that having come He might thoroughly save his servant.

4 And they, having come near to Jesus, were calling on Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will do this,

5 for he loves our nation, and he built to us the synagogue.”

6 And Jesus was going on with them, and now when He is not far distant from the house the centurion sent to Him friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not be troubled, for I am not worthy that You may enter under my roof;

7 for this reason I did not consider myself worthy to come to You, but say in a word, and my boy will be healed;
