WPNT(i)
2 Well a certain centurion’s slave, who was valuable to him, was sick and about to die.
3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him to come and rescue his slave.
4 And when they came to Jesus they started pleading earnestly with Him, saying that the one for whom He would do this was worthy,
5 “because he loves our nation, and he himself built our synagogue”.
6 So Jesus went with them. But when He was no longer far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him: “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come under my roof.
7 In fact I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. Just say a word and my servant will be healed;
8 because I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. I say to one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does.”
9 Well upon hearing these things Jesus marveled at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”
10 When those who were sent returned to the house they found that the slave who had been sick was well.
