*
Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people ,
He entered Capernaum .
*
And a certain centurion '
s servant ,
who was dear to him ,
was sick and ready to die .
*
So when he heard about Jesus ,
he sent elders of the Jews to Him ,
pleading with Him to come and heal his servant .
*
And when they came to Jesus ,
they begged Him earnestly ,
saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving ,
* "
for he loves our nation ,
and has built us a synagogue ."
*
Then Jesus went with them .
And when He was already not far 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 think myself worthy to come to You .
But say the word ,
and my servant will be healed .
*
For I also am a man placed under authority ,
having soldiers under me .
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 turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him , "
I say to you ,
I have not found such great faith ,
not even in Israel !"
*
And those who were sent ,
returning to the house ,
found the servant well who had been sick .
