Luke   7: 5-10

7:5 For he loves our nation, and he has built a synagogue for us.”
7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying: “Lord, do not trouble yourself. For I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof.
7:7 Because of this, I also did not consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
7:8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
7:9 And upon hearing this, Jesus was amazed. And turning to the multitude following him, he said, “Amen I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
7:10 And those who had been sent, upon returning to the house, found that the servant, who had been sick, was now healthy.
