Luke 7:6-8

New Testament for Everyone

⁶ Jesus went with them.

When he was not far off from the house, the centurion sent friends to him with a further message.

“Master,” he said, “don’t trouble yourself. I don’t deserve to have you come under my roof. ⁷ That’s why I didn’t think myself worthy to come to you in person. But—just say the word, and my slave will be healed. ⁸ You see, I’m used to living under authority, and I have soldiers reporting to me. I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; to another one, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
