Luke 7:1-7 ▼

1 When He had completed all His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2 And a certain centurion’s slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die.

3 And when he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.

4 And when they had come to Jesus, they earnestly entreated Him, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him;

5 for he loves our nation, and it was he who built us our synagogue.”

6 Now Jesus started on His way with them; and when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof;

7 for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
