Amplified Bible

Luke 7:5-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

5. For he loves our nation and he built us our synagogue [at his own expense].

6. And Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent [some] friends to Him, saying, Lord, do not trouble [Yourself], for I am not sufficiently worthy to have You come under my roof;

7. Neither did I consider myself worthy to come to You. But [just] speak a word, and my servant boy will be healed.

8. For I also am a man [daily] subject to authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bond servant, Do this, and he does it.

9. Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and He turned and said to the crowd that followed Him, I tell you, not even in [all] Israel have I found such great faith [as this].

10. And when the messengers who had been sent returned to the house, they found the bond servant who had been ill quite well again.
