5. When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him asking for help:
6. “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible anguish.”
7. Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8. But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Instead, just say the word and my servant will be healed.
9. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go’ and he goes, and to another ‘Come’ and he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this’ and he does it.”
