1. Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2. And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.
3. And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4. And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5. For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof;
7. Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee; but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
