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

⁵ And He having come into Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, entreating Him, ⁶ and saying; Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, terribly tormented.

⁷ And Jesus says to him, Having come I will heal him.

⁸ And the centurion responding said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou mayest come in under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant will be healed. ⁹ For I am also a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

¹⁰ And Jesus hearing, was astonished, and said to those following, Truly I say unto you, I did not find so great faith in Israel. ¹¹ And I say unto you, that many will come from the east and from the west, and sit up with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens: ¹² but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and let it be done unto thee as thou hast believed. And his servant was healed at that hour.

¹ When He completed all His words in the ears of the people, He came into Capernaum. ² And the servant of a certain centurion, being sick, was about to die, who was precious to him. ³ And hearing about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him that having come He may save his servant. ⁴ And they, having come to Jesus, continued to entreat Him earnestly, saying, That he to whom He will do this is worthy: ⁵ for he loves our race, and himself built for us a synagogue. ⁶ And Jesus went along with them. And already He being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, Lord, be not troubled: for I am not worthy that you may come in under my roof: ⁷ Therefore I did not count myself worthy to come to thee; but speak the word, and my servant shall be healed. ⁸ For I am also a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me: 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 Jesus, having heard these words, was astonished at him, and turning to the multitude following said, I say unto you, I did not find so great faith in Israel. ¹⁰ And those having been sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
