Luke 7:1-10
Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant
7 After
he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered
Capernaum. 2 Now a centurion had a
servant[a] who was
sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. 3 When the centurion[b] heard
about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his
servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus,
they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for
him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he
is the one who built us our synagogue.” 6 And
Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent
friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to
have you come under my roof. 7 Therefore
I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be
healed. 8 For I too am a man set under
authority, with 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.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled
at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.”
10 And when those who had been sent returned
to the house, they found the servant well.
