Today's Gospel of Jesus Christ

When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion?s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, ?This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.? 6 So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: ?Lord, don?t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 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 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 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
