And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying - Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this, for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us. And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him - Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter. Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, - but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed. For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one - Go! and he goeth, - and to another - Come! and he cometh, - and to my servant - Do this! and he doeth it. And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said - I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found! And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.

But the centurion, answering, said, Lord! I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldest enter, - but, only say with a word, and healed shall be my servant.

Now Jesus, hearing, marveled, and said to them that followed, - Verily, I say unto you, With no one in Israel, such faith as this, have I found. But I say unto you, Many from east and west, will have come, and shall recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens; Whereas, the sons of the kingdom, shall be cast forth into the darkness outside, - There, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Withdraw! and, as thou hast believed, be it done for thee. And healed was the servant in that hour.
