1 AND when he had finished all these words in the hearing of the people, Jeshu entered into Kapher-nachum.

2 But the servant of a certain centurion, who was valued by him, was sick, and nigh unto dying.

3 And he heard of Jeshu, and sent to him the elders of the Jihudoyee, and besought him to come (and) save his servant.

4 And they, when they came to Jeshu, besought of him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou do this for him;

5 for he loveth our people, and also a synagogue he hath built for us.

6 And Jeshu went with them. But when he was not greatly distant from the house, the centurion sent to him his friends, saying to him, My Lord, labour not, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter beneath my roof.

7 Wherefore I was not worthy to come to thee; but speak by a word, and my youth shall be healed.

8 For I also am a man who am subjected under authority; and there are under my hand soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth.

9 Now when Jeshu heard these (words), he admired, and turned and said to the company who came after him, I tell you, that not also in the house of Isroel have I found faith like this.

10 And they who had been sent, returned to the house, and found the servant who had been sick now well.
