3 Centurion: assistance, healing

<p>Luke 7:1-10 (NIV) &nbsp;When Jesus had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. 2 &nbsp;There a centurion's <b>servant, whom his master valued highly</b>, was sick and <b>about to die</b>. 3 &nbsp;The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 &nbsp;When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, "This man deserves to have you do this, 5 &nbsp;because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue." 6 &nbsp;So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: "<b>Lord, don't trouble yourself</b>, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 &nbsp;That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. <b>But say the word, and my servant will be healed.</b> 8 &nbsp;For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." 9 &nbsp;When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel." 10 &nbsp;Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.</p>
