1Since he had fulfilled all his declarations in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.2Now a certain centurion had a slave who was badly ill and about to die, who was valued to him.3When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him that he come and heal his slave.4When they came to Jesus they pleaded with him earnestly, saying that he is worthy for you to grant him this.5For he loves our nation, and he built the synagogue for us.6Jesus went with them, and 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 that you should enter under my roof.7Therefore I did not even deem myself worthy to come to you, but say the word and let my child be healed.8For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my slave, Do this, and he does it.9When Jesus heard these things he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him he said, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.10When those who had been sent returned to the house they found the slave healthy.
