Luke:7:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When he had finished his discourse in the audience of the people ,
he entered Capernaum .
*
And a centurion '
s servant ,
who was dear to his master ,
was sick ,
and in danger of dying .
*
And the centurion ,
having heard concerning Jesus ,
sent to him Jewish elders ,
to entreat him to come and save his servant .
*
When they came to Jesus ,
they earnestly besought him ,
saying ,
He is worthy of this favor ;
*
for he loves our nations ;
and it was he who built our synagogue .
*
Then Jesus went with them ;
and when he was not far from the house ,
the centurion sent friends to him ,
to say ,
Master ,
trouble not yourself ;
for I have not deserved that you should come under my roof ;
*
wherefore neither thought I myself fit to come into your presence ;
say but the word ,
and my servant will be healed .
*
For even I ,
who am under the authority of others ,
having soldiers under me ,
say to one ,
Go ,
and he goes ;
to another ,
Come ,
and he comes ;
and to my servant ,
Do this ,
and he does it .
*
Jesus hearing these things ,
admired him ,
and turning ,
said to the multitude which followed ,
*
And they who had been sent ,
having returned to the house ,
found the servant well ,
who had been sick .
