The Healing of a Centurion\\u2019s Slave. 1\\xa0[a]When he had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum.[b] 2\\xa0A centurion[c] there had a slave who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him. 3\\xa0When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his slave. 4\\xa0They approached Jesus and strongly urged him to come, saying, \\u201cHe deserves to have you do this for him, 5\\xa0for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us.\\u201d 6\\xa0And Jesus went with them, but when he was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, \\u201cLord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof.[d] 7\\xa0Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed. 8\\xa0For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, \\u2018Go,\\u2019 and he goes; and to another, \\u2018Come here,\\u2019 and he comes; and to my slave, \\u2018Do this,\\u2019 and he does it.\\u201d 9\\xa0When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following him, \\u201cI tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.\\u201d 10\\xa0When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
