Luke 7:2

1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2 A certain centurion`s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.

3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,

5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us."

6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, don`t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.

7 Therefore I didn`t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
