Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant

1

And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capharnaum.

2

And the servant of a certain centurion who was dear to him, being sick, was ready to die.

3

And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.

4

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

5

For he loveth our nation: and he hath built us a synagogue.

6

And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof.

7

For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

8

For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.

9

Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.

10

And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.
