Now [when] he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him, appealing to him

And the centurion answered [and] said, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof. But only say the word and my slave will be healed.

And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go, as you have believed it will be done for you." And the slave was healed at that hour.

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.

Now the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus, [when they] saw the earthquake and the things that took place, were extremely frightened, saying, "Truly this man was God's Son!"

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and they did not find [it].

And as soon as morning [came], [after] formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led [him] away, and handed [him] over to Pilate.

And [when] the centurion who was standing opposite him saw that he expired like this, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!"

And Pilate was surprised that he was already dead, and summoning the centurion, asked him whether he had died already.

And [when he] learned of [it] from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.

Now a certain centurion's slave, who was esteemed by him, {was sick} [and] was about to die.

So Jesus went with them. Now by this time he was not far away from the house, [and] the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof.

And when day came, the council of elders of the people gathered, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away to their Sanhedrin,

Now [when] the centurion saw what had happened, he began to praise God, saying, "Certainly this man was righteous!"

So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs!

But [after they] had ordered them to go outside the Sanhedrin, they began to confer with one another,

And [when they] heard [this], they entered at daybreak into the temple [courts] and began teaching. Now [when] the high priest and those with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin--even the whole council of elders of the sons of Israel--and sent to the prison to have them brought.

And [when they] had brought them, they made [them] stand in the Sanhedrin, and the high priest put a question to them,

But a certain man stood up in the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee {named} Gamaliel, a teacher of the law respected by all the people, [and] gave orders to put the men outside for a short time.

So they went out from the presence of the Sanhedrin rejoicing, because they had been considered worthy to be dishonored for the sake of the name.

And they incited the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came up [and] seized him and brought [him] to the Sanhedrin.

And [as they] looked intently at him, all those who were sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face [was] like the face of an angel.

Now [there was] a certain man in Caesarea {named} Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Cohort,

And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man--and well spoken of by the whole nation of the Jews--was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear words from you."

But when they had stretched him out for the lash, Paul said to the centurion standing there, "Is it permitted for you to flog a man [who is] a Roman citizen and uncondemned?"

And [when] the centurion heard [this], he went to the military tribune [and] reported [it], saying, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen!"

But on the next day, [because he] wanted to know the true [reason] why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble, and he brought down Paul [and] had [him] stand before them.

And looking intently at the Sanhedrin, Paul said, "Men [and] brothers, I have lived my life in all good conscience before God to this day."

Now [when] Paul realized that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted out in the Sanhedrin, "Men [and] brothers! I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees! I am being judged concerning the hope and the resurrection of the dead!"

Therefore, now you along with the Sanhedrin explain to the military tribune that he should bring him down to you, as [if you] were going to determine more accurately the things concerning him. And we are ready to do away with him before he comes near."

And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask you that you bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, as [if they] were going to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.

And [because I] wanted to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought [him] down to their Sanhedrin.

or these [men] themselves should say what crime they found [when] I stood before the Sanhedrin,

[He] ordered the centurion [for] him to be guarded and to have some freedom, and in no way to prevent any of his own [people] [from] serving him.

And when it was decided [that] we would sail away to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion {named} Julius of the Augustan Cohort.

And there the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy [and] put us {on board} it.

But the centurion was convinced even more by the shipmaster and the shipowner than by what was said by Paul.

Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these [men] remain with the ship, you cannot be saved!"

but the centurion, [because he] wanted to save Paul, prevented them {from doing what they intended}, and gave orders [that] those who were able to swim should jump in first to get to the land,
