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.”
6 So Jesus went with them. Now by this time he was not far away from the house, and the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof.
7 For this reason neither did I consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and my slave must be healed.
