'Centurion' in the Bible

When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a centurion came up to him and begged him repeatedly,

The centurion replied, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed,

"Go," Jesus told the centurion, "and it will be done for you, just as you have believed." And his servant was healed that very hour.

When the centurion and those guarding Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things that were taking place, they were terrified and said, "This man certainly was the Son of God!"

When the centurion who stood facing Jesus saw how he had cried out and breathed his last, he said, "This man certainly was the Son of God!"

Pilate was amazed to hear that Jesus had already died, so he summoned the centurion to ask him if he was in fact dead.

When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he let Joseph have the corpse.

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him to ask him to come and save his servant's life.

So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to tell Jesus, "Sir, stop troubling yourself, because I'm not worthy to have you come under my roof.

When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, "This man certainly was righteous!"

Now in Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment.

The men replied, "Cornelius, a centurion and an upright and God-fearing man who is respected by the whole Jewish nation, was instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his home to hear what you have to say."

But when they had tied him up with the straps, Paul asked the centurion who was standing there, "Is it legal for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn't been condemned?"

When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and told him, "What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!"

So the centurion took him, brought him to the tribune, and said, "The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you."

He ordered the centurion to guard Paul but to let him have some freedom and not to keep any of his friends from caring for his needs.

When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were transferred to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the emperor's division.

There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy and put us on it.

But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship and not by what Paul said.

Paul told the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men remain onboard, you cannot be saved."

but the centurion wanted to save Paul, so he prevented them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
