Luke 7:7-9

New Testament for Everyone

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.”

⁹ When Jesus heard this he was astonished.

“Let me tell you,” he said, turning to the crowd that was following him, “I haven’t found faith of this kind, even in Israel.”
