1 And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's bondman faring badly was going to perish, who was esteemed by him.
3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him who asked him that, having come, he would save his bondman.
4 And when they came to Jesus they urged him earnestly, saying, He is worthy for whom thou may offer this,
5 for he loves our nation, and he himself built the synagogue for us.
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far distant from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof.
7 Therefore neither did I consider myself worthy to come to thee, but speak by word, and my boy will be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this man, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my bondman, Do this, and he does.
9 And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled him, and having turned around to the multitude who followed him, he said, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.
10 And those who were sent, having returned to the house, found the bondman who was feeble, being well.
