5 When Jesus went to Capernaum, a Roman army officer came to beg him for help. 6 The officer said, |Sir, my servant is lying at home paralyzed and in terrible pain.| 7 Jesus said to him, |I'll come to heal him.| 8 The officer responded, |Sir, I don't deserve to have you come into my house. But just give a command, and my servant will be healed. 9 As you know, I'm in a chain of command and have soldiers at my command. I tell one of them, 'Go!' and he goes, and another, 'Come!' and he comes. I tell my servant, 'Do this!' and he does it.| 10 Jesus was amazed when he heard this. He said to those who were following him, |I can guarantee this truth: I haven't found faith as great as this in anyone in Israel. Matthew 8:5-10, God's Word Translation.
