1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death. 3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him Jewish elders, asking him to come and save his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, |He is worthy for you to do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.| 6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, |Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
