After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

And, a certain centurion's servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, - who was, by him, highly prized.

But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.

And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying - Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,

for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.

And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him - Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.

Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, - but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.

For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, 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 it.

And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said - I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!

And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
