Luke 7:3The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, "This man deserves to have you do this, 5because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue." 6So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you.
The centurion seems to have been an interesting character. Obviously a good community minded man who has made lots of loyal friends and very kind as he even cares about his servant so much. Humble too. Jesus was amazed by the guy.
