Matthew

Matthew 8:5–10

⁵When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him, ⁶“Lord, my servant^c lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

⁷“I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

⁸The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

¹⁰When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
