2. Now a certain centurion’s slave, who was esteemed by him, was sick and was about to die.
3. So when he heard about Jesus, he sent Jewish elders to him, asking him that he would come and cure his slave.
4. And when they came to Jesus, they began imploring him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy that you grant this for him,
5. because he loves our nation and he himself built the synagogue for us.”
