Jesus Heals an Officer’s Servant

In Capernaum there was an army officer.

He had a servant who was very sick; he was near death.

The officer loved the servant very much. 

When he heard about Jesus, he sent some older Jewish leaders to him.

The Jewish leaders begged Jesus to help the officer.

So Jesus went with them.

He was coming near the officer’s house when the officer sent friends to say, “Lord, you don’t need to do anything special for me. I am not good enough for you to come into my house. 

That is why I did not come to you myself.

You need only to give the order, and my servant will be healed. 

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed.
