Luke 7:1-10

21st Century King James Version

7 Now when He had ended all His sayings in the audience of the people, He entered into Capernaum.

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

³ And when he heard of Jesus, he sent the elders of the Jews unto Him, beseeching Him that He would come and heal his servant.

⁴ And when they came to Jesus they besought Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was worthy,

⁵ “for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.”

⁶ And Jesus went with them. And when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying unto Him, “Lord, trouble not Thyself, for I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof.

⁷ Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto Thee. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

⁸ For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers. And I say unto one, ‘Go’, and he goeth; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he cometh; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he doeth it.”

⁹ When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned about and said unto the people who followed Him, “I say unto you, I have not found so great a faith, no, not in Israel.”

¹⁰ And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.
