Luke 7:2-10

Thomson(i) 2 where a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to his master, was sick and at the point of death. 3 And the centurion, having heard of Jesus, had sent to him the elders of the Jews with a request that he would come and cure his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they pressed him earnestly, saying, He is worthy of this favour; 5 for he loveth our nation, and it was he who built the synagogue for us. 6 So Jesus went with them. But when he was now at no great distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying, Sir, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: 7 and for that reason I did not think myself worthy to come to thee. Say but a word, and my servant will be healed. 8 For even I, who am a man subject to authority, having soldiers under me, say to one, Go; and he goeth: and to another, Come; and he cometh: and to my slave, Do this; and he doeth it. 9 When Jesus heard this, he admired him; and turning to the multitude that followed him, he said, I say to you, I have not found such an instance of faith even in Israel. 10 And when they, who had been sent, returned to the house, they found the servant well who had been sick.
