Luke 7:2-5

2And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.

3And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.

4And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him:

5for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.
