1 After he had finished all his statements in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Now a certain centurion’s slave, who was esteemed by him, was sick and was about to die.
3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent Jewish elders to him, asking him that he would come and cure his slave.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they began imploring him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy that you grant this for him,
5 because he loves our nation and he himself built the synagogue for us.”
