1 When he had finished his discourse in the audience of the people, he entered Capernaum.

2 And a centurion's servant, who was dear to his master, was sick, and in danger of dying.

3 And the centurion, having heard concerning Jesus, sent to him Jewish elders, to entreat him to come and save his servant.

4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly besought him, saying, He is worthy of this favor;

5 for he loves our nations; and it was he who built our synagogue.

6 Then Jesus went with them; and when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, to say, Master, trouble not yourself; for I have not deserved that you should come under my roof;

7 wherefore neither thought I myself fit to come into your presence; say but the word, and my servant will be healed.

8 For even I, who am under the authority of others, having soldiers under me, say to one, Go, and he goes; to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

9 Jesus hearing these things, admired him, and turning, said to the multitude which followed, I assure you, I have not found so great faith even in Israel.

10 And they who had been sent, having returned to the house, found the servant well, who had been sick.
