5for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.”
6And Jesus went with them, but when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof;
7therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only speak the word, and let my servant be healed.

44Gen 18.4; 19.2; 43.24; Judg 19.21; 1 Tim 5.10Then turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has bathed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.

50Mt 9.22; Mk 5.34; Lk 8.48But he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
