Matthew 8:5-10 ▼

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

6 Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible anguish.|

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

8 But the centurion replied, |Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Instead, just say the word and my servant will be healed.

9 For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, 'Go' and he goes, and to another 'Come' and he comes, and to my slave 'Do this' and he does it.|

10 When Jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those who followed him, |I tell you the truth, I have not found such faith in anyone in Israel!
