1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. one: Gr. this man
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned himself about, and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.
