2. And a centurion's slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die.
3. When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.
4. When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, "He is worthy for You to grant this to him;
5. for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue."
6. Now Jesus started on His way with them; and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof;
7. for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
