2 And a certain centurion's servant being sick, was about to die; which was highly valued by him. 3 And having heard of Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him, that having come, he would save his servant. 4 And they approaching to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, That he is worthy to whom he will bestow this: 5 For he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue. 6 And Jesus went with them. And now he being away not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not fit that thou shouldest come under my roof; 7 Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but speak in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 8 For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself, and I say to this, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes: and to my servant, Do this, and he does. 9 And Jesus having heard these, wondered at him, and having turned to the crowd following him, he said, I say to you, Neither have I found so much faith in Israel.
