Contextual Overview

1 And when he had finished all these discourses in the audience of the people, Jesus entered into Capernaum. 2 And the servant of a centurion, who was dear to him, was very sick, and near to death. 3 And he heard of Jesus, and sent the Elders of the Jews to him, and requested of him that he would come and save the life of his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him earnestly, and said: He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him; 5 for he loveth our nation, and hath also built us a house of assembly. 6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, and said to him: My Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: 7 therefore I deemed myself not worthy to approach thee myself; but speak the word only, and my young man will be healed. 8 For I also am a man subjected to authority; and I have soldiers under my command; and I say to this one, Go; and he goeth: and to another, Come; and he cometh: and to my servant, Do this; and he doeth [fn] 9 And when Jesus heard these things, he admired him; and he turned, and said to the throng that followed him: I say to you, I have not found faith like this even in Israel. 10 And they that were sent, returned to the house; and they found the servant that had been sick, now well.
