Matthew 8:5-13 - A Centurion's Slave Healed

⁵ And, when he entered into Capernaum, there came near unto him a centurion, beseeching him, ⁶ and saying, Lord! my servant, is laid prostrate in the house, a paralytic, fearfully tortured.

⁷ He saith unto him, I, will come and cure him.

⁸ 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. ⁹ For, I also, am a man setunder 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.

¹⁰ 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. ¹¹ 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; ¹² Whereas, the sons of the kingdom, shall be cast forth into the darkness outside, - There, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ¹³ 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.

¹ After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. ² And, a certain centurion's servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, - who was, by him, highly prized. ³ But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through. ⁴ And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying - Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this, ⁵ for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us. ⁶ 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. ⁷ Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, - but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed. ⁸ 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.

⁹ 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! ¹⁰ And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
