Luke 7:1-9 ▼

1 When He completed all His words in the ears of the people, He came into Capernaum.

2 And the servant of a certain centurion, being sick, was about to die, who was precious to him.

3 And hearing about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him that having come He may save his servant.

4 And they, having come to Jesus, continued to entreat Him earnestly, saying, That he to whom He will do this is worthy:

5 for he loves our race, and himself built for us a synagogue.

6 And Jesus went along with them. And already He being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, Lord, be not troubled: for I am not worthy that you may come in under my roof:

7 Therefore I did not count myself worthy to come to thee; but speak the word, and my servant shall be healed.

8 For I am also a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

9 And Jesus, having heard these words, was astonished at him, and turning to the multitude following said, I say unto you, I did not find so great faith in Israel.
