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.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another one, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
9 And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning around to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”
