3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave. 4 When they came to Jesus, they urged him earnestly, |He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5 because he loves our nation, and even built our synagogue.| 6 So Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, |Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Luke 7:3-6, New English Translation.
