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

⁵ And Jesus having entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion calling upon him, ⁶ and saying, 'Sir, my young man hath been laid in the house a paralytic, fearfully afflicted,'

⁷ and Jesus saith to him, 'I, having come, will heal him.'

⁸ And the centurion answering said, 'Sir, I am not worthy that thou mayest enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my servant shall be healed; ⁹ for I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Be coming, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.'

¹⁰ And Jesus having heard, did wonder, and said to those following, 'Verily I say to you, not even in Israel so great faith have I found; ¹¹ and I say to you, that many from east and west shall come and recline (at meat) with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the reign of the heavens, ¹² but the sons of the reign shall be cast forth to the outer darkness -- there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.' ¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, 'Go, and as thou didst believe let it be to thee;' and his young man was healed in that hour.

¹ And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum; ² and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him, ³ and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant. ⁴ And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying -- 'He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this, ⁵ for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.' ⁶ And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter; ⁷ wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed; ⁸ for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.'

⁹ And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, 'I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;' ¹⁰ and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
