Luke 7:1-7
-
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 unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
-
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto 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 instantly, 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 unto 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 unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
