1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.

3 And hearing of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, beseeching him to come and heal his servant.

4 And coming to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy for whom thou shouldest do this.

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

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

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

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

9 Jesus hearing these things, marvelled at him, and turning, said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

10 And they that had been sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
