When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him asking for help:

They begged him if they could only touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.

Then his lord called the first slave and said to him, ‘Evil slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me!

Or do you think that I cannot call on my Father, and that he would send me more than twelve legions of angels right now?
