Matthew 8:5-13 ▼

5 And, when He entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a centurion, beseeching Him.

6 and saying, "Lord, my boy has been prostrated in my house, a paralytic, fearfully afflicted."

7 And He saith to him, "Having gone, I will heal him."

8 And the centurion, answering, said, "Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof, but only speak in a word, and my boy shall be healed;

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

10 And Jesus, hearing it , wondered, and said to those following Him , "Verily I say to you, with no one in Israel did I find such faith.

11 And I say to 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;

12 but the sons of the Kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth."

13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; as you believed, be it done to you." And the boy was healed in that hour.
