3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
4 They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
5 for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
6 So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
7 That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
