When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him asking for help:

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

Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; just as you believed, it will be done for you." And the servant was healed at that hour.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were trying to find false testimony against Jesus so that they could put him to death.

Now when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, "Truly this one was God's Son!"

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find anything.

Early in the morning, after forming a plan, the chief priests with the elders and the experts in the law and the whole Sanhedrin tied Jesus up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.

Now when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw how he died, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!"

Pilate was surprised that he was already dead. He called the centurion and asked him if he had been dead for some time.

When Pilate was informed by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

A centurion there had a slave who was highly regarded, but who was sick and at the point of death.

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave.

So Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God and said, "Certainly this man was innocent!"

When they heard this, they entered the temple courts at daybreak and began teaching. Now when the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin -- that is, the whole high council of the Israelites -- and sent to the jail to have the apostles brought before them.

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

They said, "Cornelius the centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message from you."

When they had stretched him out for the lash, Paul said to the centurion standing nearby, "Is it legal for you to lash a man who is a Roman citizen without a proper trial?"

When the centurion heard this, he went to the commanding officer and reported it, saying, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen."

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

He ordered the centurion to guard Paul, but to let him have some freedom, and not to prevent any of his friends from meeting his needs.

When it was decided we would sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort named Julius.

There the centurion found a ship from Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it.

But the centurion was more convinced by the captain and the ship's owner than by what Paul said.

Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved."

But the centurion, wanting to save Paul's life, prevented them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land,
