Luke 7

2

There a centurion's servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.

3

The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.

4

When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, "This man deserves to have you do this,

5

because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue."

6

So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof.

7

That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8

For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, `Go,' and he goes; and that one, `Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, `Do this,' and he does it."

9

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel."

10

Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
