Based on the Bible but not exactly the Bible.
It was very unusual for Jews to visit a Roman at his home. When Domitius asked three Jewish friends to come to his home, they came because they respected Domitius. "Shalom Domitius, it is good to see you again. How can we help you?" Beracha asked. "My friend Rolius is deathly ill, and I care for him greatly. I have heard of a great man of God among your people. His name is Jesus. Can you please go to Capernium and ask Jesus to heal Rolius?" Well, Beracha, Dekel and Chazon were shocked. They talked excitedly with each other. Dekel said: "I am not sure what I think of this Jesus. I don't feel like asking Jesus to heal a Roman slave." Chazon murmered. "We three are respected elders in the synagogue. My wife will think I have gone crazy!" Complained Dekel. "Keep your mind on all the good things that Domitius has done for we Jews. We can not refuse his request. End of discussion!" interrupted Baracha. Then he told Domitus "We will go to Jesus with your request." Domitius was relieved.
