Luke 7 Intro: The centurion's servant -- Widow's son raised -- Christ's testimony of John -- Jesus anointed by the woman -- He commendeth the act.
1 Now when he had ended all these sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and ready to die.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this;
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them, and when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
7 Wherefore, neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee; but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people who followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.
