Luke 7:1-10

1599 Geneva Bible

7 1 Of the Centurion’s servant. 9 The Centurion’s faith. 11 The widow’s son raised from death at Nain. 19 John sendeth his disciples to Christ. 33 His peculiar kind of living. 37 The sinful woman washeth Jesus’ feet.

¹ When ^(A)[a]he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

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

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

⁴ So they came to Jesus, and besought him instantly, saying that he was worthy that he should do this for him:

⁵ For he loveth, said they, our nation, and he hath built us a Synagogue.

⁶ Then Jesus went with them: but when he was now 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 Wherefore I thought not myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be whole:

⁸ For I likewise am a man set under authority, and have 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 him, and said to the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.

¹⁰ And when they that were sent, turned back to the house, they found the servant that was sick, whole.
