Luke 7:2-6

2A Roman officer there had a servant that he liked very much. The servant was very ill and he was dying.

3The officer heard about Jesus, so he sent some important Jews to speak to him. ‘Please go to Jesus,’ he said to them. ‘I would like him to make my servant well. Ask him if he would come to do that.’

4The Jewish leaders went to Jesus. They asked him, ‘Please would you do something to help this Roman officer.

5He loves the Jewish people. He himself built a meeting place for us.’

6So Jesus went with them. When he was not very far away from the house, the officer sent some friends to talk to him. He told them to say to Jesus, ‘Sir, I do not want to be a trouble to you. I am not good enough for you to come into my house.
