5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,

6 and saying, |Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.|

7 Jesus said to him, |I will come and heal him.|

8 The centurion answered, |Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it.|
