Luke 7:1
When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
2 There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.
3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
