After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he
entered into Capernaum.
And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and
at the point of death. And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent
unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save
his servant.
And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, "He
is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him; for he loveth our
nation, and himself built us our synagogue."
And Jesus went with them. And 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 come under my roof:
wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say
the word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man set
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 when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and
said unto the multitude that followed him, "Verily I say unto you, I
have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you,
that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down
with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven: but the
sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness:
there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant
whole.
