1 After Jesus had finished teaching the people, he went to Capernaum.
2 In this town an army officer's servant was sick and about to die. The officer liked his servant very much.
3 And when he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish leaders to ask him to come and heal the servant.
4 The leaders went to Jesus and begged him to do something. They said, “This man deserves your help!
5 He loves our nation and even built us a synagogue.”
