New TestamentMatthewThe Faith of the Centurion · 8:5–138:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
