Luke:7:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now when He finished all His sayings in the hearing of the people ,
He entered Capernaum .
*
And a certain centurion '
s servant ,
who was highly valued by him ,
was sick and about to die .
*
And when he heard about Jesus ,
he sent elders of the Jews to Him ,
asking Him that He might come and heal his servant .
*
And when they came to Jesus ,
they begged Him earnestly ,
saying he was worthy for whom He should grant this ,
*
for he loves our nation ,
and he himself has built us a synagogue ."
*
Then Jesus went with them .
And when He was already not far away from the house ,
the centurion sent friends to Him ,
saying to Him , "
Lord ,
do not trouble Yourself ,
for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof .
*
Therefore I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You .
But [
just ]
say the word ,
and my servant shall be healed .
*
For I also am a man appointed under authority ,
having soldiers under myself .
And I say to one , '
Go ,'
and he goes ;
and to another , '
Come ,'
and he comes ;
and to my servant , '
Do this ,'
and he does [
it ]."
*
When Jesus heard these things ,
He marveled at him ,
and turning to the crowd following Him ,
He said , "
I say to you ,
I have not found such great faith ,
not even in Israel !"
*
And when those who were sent returned to the house ,
they found the servant well who had been sick .
