Luke 7:1-10
========================
1When Jesus had finished
saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered
2There a centurion’s servant,
whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.
3The centurion heard of Jesus
and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his
servant.
4When they came to Jesus,
they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this,
5because he loves our nation
and has built our synagogue.”
6So Jesus went with them. He
was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him:
“Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my
roof.
7That is why I did not even
consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be
healed.
8For I myself am a man under
authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that
one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do
this,’ and he does it.”
9When Jesus heard this, he
was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell
you, I have not found such great faith even in
10Then the men who had been
sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
