Luke:7:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when He had completed all His words in the ears of the people ,
He went into Capernaum .
*
And a certain slave of a centurion ,
one dear to him ,
having illness ,
was about to expire .
*
And hearing about Jesus ,
he sent elders of the Jews to Him ,
asking Him that He might come to restore his slave .
*
And coming to Jesus ,
they earnestly begged Him ,
saying ,
He to whom You give this is worthy .
*
For he loves our nation ,
and he built the synagogue for us .
*
And Jesus went with them .
But He being yet not far away from the house ,
the centurion sent friends to Him ,
saying to Him ,
Lord ,
do not trouble ,
for I am not worthy that You come under my roof .
*
For this reason I did not count myself worthy to come to You .
But say in a word ,
and let my servant be cured .
*
For I also am a man having been set under authority ,
having soldiers under myself .
And I say to this one ,
Go !
And he goes .
And to another ,
Come !
And he comes .
And to my slave ,
Do this !
And he does it .
*
And hearing these things ,
Jesus marveled at him .
And turning to the crowd following Him ,
He said ,
I say to you ,
I did not find such faith in Israel .
*
And those sent ,
returning to the house ,
found the sick slave well .
