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