¹ After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.

⁵ And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,

⁶ Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.

⁷ And he said to him, I will come and make him well.

⁸ And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.

⁹ Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

¹⁰ And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

¹¹ And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

¹² But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.

¹³ And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you. And the servant was made well in that hour.

¹ After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.

² And a certain captain had a servant who was very dear to him; this servant was ill and near to death.

³ And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.

⁴ And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,

⁵ It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.

⁶ And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:

⁷ And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.

⁸ For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

⁹ And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

¹⁰ And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.

²⁸ And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

²⁹ for he was teaching as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
