1 Jesus finished saying all those things to the people. Then he entered Capernaum.
2 There the servant of a Roman commander was sick and about to die. His master thought highly of him.
3 The commander heard about Jesus. So he sent some elders of the Jews to him. He told them to ask Jesus to come and heal his servant.
4 They came to Jesus and begged him, "This man deserves to have you do this.
5 He loves our nation and has built our synagogue."
