A Roman officer there had a servant who was very dear $$ him; the man was sick and about $$ die.

When the officer heard about *****, he sent some Jewish elders $$ ask him $$ come and heal his servant.

They came to Jesus and begged him earnestly, "This man really deserves your help. He loves our people and he himself built a synagogue for us."

So ***** went with them.

He was not far from the house when the officer sent friends $$ tell him,

"Sir, don’t trouble yourself. @ do not deserve $$ have you come into my house, neither do @ consider myself worthy $$ come $$ you in person. Just give the order, and my servant will get well.

@, too, am a man placed under the authority of superior officers, and @ have soldiers under me. @ order this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; @ order that one, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and @ order my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it."

***** was surprised when he heard this; he turned round and said $$ the crowd following him, "@ tell you, @ have never found faith like this, not even in Israel!"
