Matthew 8:1-11 ▼

1 And when he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.

2 And look, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, |Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.|

3 And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, |I am willing. Be cleansed.| And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4 And Jesus said to him, |See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.|

5 And when he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,

6 and saying, |Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.|

7 And he said to him, |I will come and heal him.|

8 And the centurion answered, |Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it.|

10 And when Jesus heard it, he was amazed, and said to those who followed, |Truly I tell you, I have not found so great a faith with anyone in Israel.

11 And I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
