Luke 7:2-9

2And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;

3and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.

4But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,

5for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.

6And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.

7Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.

8For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].

9And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
