bwe - Luke:7:1-10

bwe@Luke:7:1 @ Jesus finished saying all these things for the people to hear. Then he went to Capernaum.

bwe@Luke:7:2 @ An army officer had a servant whom he loved. The servant was sick and almost dying.

bwe@Luke:7:3 @ The officer heard of Jesus. So he sent some of the leaders of the Jews to him. He asked him to come and heal his servant.

bwe@Luke:7:4 @ They came to Jesus and begged him very much. They said, He is a good man. You should come and do this for him.

bwe@Luke:7:5 @ He loves our people and he built the meeting house for us.

bwe@Luke:7:6 @ Jesus went with them. When he came near the house, the officer sent some friends to meet him and to say, Sir, do not trouble yourself to come further. I am not good enough to have you come into my house.

bwe@Luke:7:7 @ And I did not think I was good enough to come to you. Just say the word and my servant will be healed.

bwe@Luke:7:8 @ I myself am a man who takes orders, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I say to one, "Go," and he goes. I say to another, "Come," and he comes. I say to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.

bwe@Luke:7:9 @ Jesus was surprised when he heard this. He turned to the people who followed him. He said, I tell you, I have not found a Jew who believes as this man does.

bwe@Luke:7:10 @ The men who had been sent to Jesus went back into the house. They found that the servant who had been sick was well.
