Luke 7:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.

⁴ And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him.

⁵ For he loveth our nation; and he hath built us a synagogue.
