4:31-32 He
(then) went down to Capernaum, a
city of Galilee. He was teaching
them there on the Sabbath days. They
were astounded at his teaching because there was authority in his word.

7:1-10
After he had ended all his words in the
hearing of the people he entered Capernaum. Now there was a slave of a certain
centurion there who was ill and who was about to die. He was dear to the Centurion. Hearing about Jesus he sent a message to
him through the elders of the Jews, asking that he may come and cure his
slave. And so they came to Jesus and
asked him earnestly saying "He
is worthy of this favour from you, for he loves
our nation and he has built the synagogue for us. So Jesus went with them. But he was not far away from the house
when friends of the centurion came saying to him. "Lord do not trouble yourself. I am not worthy that you should enter
under my roof. I not come to you
myself because I do not consider myself worthy. Only say a word that my servant may be
cured. I also am a man under authority
and there are soldiers under me in turn.
I say to this one "Go" and he goes. I tell another "Come" and he
comes. I say to my slave "Do this"
and he does it." On hearing all
this Jesus marvelled at him. He turned to the
crowd that was following him and said "I tell you I have not found
faith such as this in Israel." And so, on their return to the house the
people who had been sent (to him) found the slave well.
