Luke 7:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³ When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave. ⁴ When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying, ‘He is worthy of having you do this for him, ⁵ for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.’
