Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant
1
After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, 1he entered Capernaum.
2
Now a centurion had a servanta who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him.
3
When the centurionb heard about Jesus, 2he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant.
4
And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, 3"He is worthy to have you do this for him,
5
for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us 4our synagogue."
6
And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, 5do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.
7
Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But 6say the word, and let my servant be healed.
8
For I too am a man set under authority, with 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."
9
When Jesus heard these things, 7he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such 8faith."
10
And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.
