Thematic Bible: Centurion's servant healed


Thematic Bible



When he entered Capernaum, a centurion (captain of one hundred men) approached him. He said: Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home and terribly tormented. Jesus said to him: I will come and heal him. read more.
The centurion replied to Jesus: Lord, I am not worthy that you come under my roof. Say the word and my servant will be healed. I also am a man having authority and commanding soldiers. 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. When Jesus heard it, he was amazed, and said to the crowd: I tell you, I have not found such great faith in Israel. I tell you, many will come from the east and the west, to sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven: but the sons of the kingdom will be cast forth into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Jesus said to the centurion: Go. Just as you believe, so it will be done to you. The servant was healed in that hour.
