And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him importunately, saying, He is a worthy man on whom thou wilt confer this favour: for he loveth our nation, and hath himself built us a synagogue. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion dispatched towards him friends, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not deserving that thou shouldest enter beneath my roof. Therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee, but speak in a word, and my servant will be cured. For I also am a man under authority, and have under my command soldiers; and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come hither, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. Then Jesus, on hearing these things, respected him highly, and turning to the multitude which was following him, he said, I tell you, I have not found such faith, even in Israel. And they who were sent, on their return to the house, found the servant who was sick in perfect health.
