Luke 7:5 bbe — It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.

And a certain captain had a servant who was very dear to him; this servant was ill and near to death.

And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.

And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,

And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:

And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.

For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
