4. And when they came to יהושע, they begged Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him,
5. for he loves our nation, and has built the congregation for us.”
6. So יהושע went with them. However, He was not far from the house when the captain sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Master, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should come under my roof.
7. “For this reason I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8. “For I too am a man appointed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
