1 When he had finished his discourse in the audience of the people, he entered Capernaum.2 And a centurion's servant, who was dear to his master, was sick, and in danger of dying.3 And the centurion, having heard concerning Jesus, sent to him Jewish elders, to entreat him to come and save his servant.4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly besought him, saying, He is worthy of this favor;5 for he loves our nations; and it was he who built our synagogue.6 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;7 wherefore neither thought I myself fit to come into your presence; say but the word, and my servant will be healed.8 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.9 Jesus hearing these things, admired him, and turning, said to the multitude which followed, I assure you, I have not found so great faith even in Israel.10 And they who had been sent, having returned to the house, found the servant well, who had been sick.
