Luke 7:2-9

2And a centurion’sG1543 slaveG1401, 1whoG3739 was highlyG1784 regardedG1784 by him, was sickG2560 and aboutG3195 to dieG5053.

3When he heardG191 aboutG4012 JesusG2424, 2he sentG649 some 3JewishG2453 eldersG4245 askingG2065 Him to comeG2064 and 4saveG1295 the lifeG1295 of his slaveG1401.

4When they cameG3854 to JesusG2424, they earnestlyG4709 imploredG3870 Him, sayingG3004, “He is worthyG514 for You to grantG3930 thisG3778 to him;

5for he lovesG25 our nationG1484 and it was he who builtG3618 us our synagogueG4864.”

6NowG1161 JesusG2424 started on His wayG4198 with them; and when He was not farG3112 from the houseG3614, the centurionG1543 sentG3992 friendsG5384, sayingG3004 to Him, “5LordG2962, do not troubleG4660 Yourself further, for I amG1510 not worthyG2425 for You to comeG1525 underG5259 my roofG4721;

7for thisG1352 reasonG1352 I did not evenG3761 considerG515 myselfG1683 worthyG515 to comeG2064 to You, but just 6sayG3004 the wordG3056, and my 7servantG3816 will be healedG2390.

8For I alsoG2532 amG1510 a manG444 placed underG5259 authorityG1849, with soldiersG4757 underG5259 me; and I sayG3004 to thisG3778 oneG3778, ‘GoG4198!’ and he goesG4198, and to anotherG243, ‘ComeG2064!’ and he comesG2064, and to my slaveG1401, ‘DoG4160 thisG3778!’ and he doesG4160 it.”

9NowG1161 when JesusG2424 heardG191 thisG3778, He marveledG2296 at him, and turnedG4762 and saidG3004 to the crowdG3793 that was followingG190 Him, “I sayG3004 to you, 8not evenG3761 in IsraelG2474 have I foundG2147 suchG5118 greatG5118 faithG4102.”
