7:1NOW when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

7:2And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

7:3And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

7:4And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

7:5For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

7:6Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

7:7Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

7:8For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

7:9When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
