And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment-hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,

And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

There was a certain man in Cesarea, called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

And as they went about to kill him, tidings came to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
