1 After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2 And, a certain centurions servant, being sick, was on the point of dying,who was, by him, highly prized.

3 But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.

4 And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, sayingWorthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,

5 for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.

6 And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto himLord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.

7 Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee,but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.

8 For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this oneGo! and he goeth,and to anotherCome! and he cometh,and to my servantDo this! and he doeth it.

9 And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, saidI tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!

10 And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
