14.
After he had ended all his words. in the hearing of the people he entered Capernaum.  | ||
He was teaching them there on the Sabbath days.
 |
Now there was a slave of a certain centurion there who was ill and who was about to die. He was dear to the Centurion. Hearing about Jesus he sent a message to him through the elders of the Jews, asking that he may come and cure his slave. And so they came to Jesus and asked him earnestly saying "He is worthy of this favour from you, for he loves our nation and he has built the synagogue for us. So Jesus went with them. But he was not far away from the house when friends of the centurion came saying to him. "Lord do not trouble yourself. I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. I not come to you myself because I do not consider myself worthy. Only say a word that my servant may be cured.
 | ||
They were astounded at his teaching because there was authority in his word.
 |
I also am a man under authority and there are soldiers under me in turn. I say to this one "Go" and he goes. I tell another "Come" and he comes. I say to my slave "Do this" and he does it." On hearing all this Jesus marvelled at him.
He turned to the crowd that was following him and said "I tell you I have not found faith such as this in Israel." And so, on their return to the house the people who had been sent (to him) found the slave well.
