Context Readings

A Centurion's Slave Healed

7 and so I did not consider myself fit even to come to you. Just say the word, and let my servant be cured. 8 For though I am a man under authority myself, I have soldiers under me; I tell one man to go, and he goes, I tell another to come, and he comes, I tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." 9 When Jesus heard this he marvelled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed he said, "I tell you, I have never met faith like this anywhere even in Israel."
