'Centurion' in the Bible
When He entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,
“Lord,” the centurion replied, “I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be cured.
Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go. As you have believed, let it be done for you.” And his servant was cured that very moment.
When the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified and said, “This man really was God’s Son!”
When the centurion, who was standing opposite Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, “This man really was God’s Son!”
Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether He had already died.
When he found out from the centurion, he gave the corpse to Joseph.
When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to Him, requesting Him to come and save the life of his slave.
Jesus went with them, and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell Him, “Lord, don’t trouble Yourself, since I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
When the centurion saw what happened, he began to glorify God, saying, “This man really was righteous!”
There was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment.
They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who has a good reputation with the whole Jewish nation, was divinely directed by a holy angel to call you to his house and to hear a message from you.”
As they stretched him out for the lash, Paul said to the centurion standing by, “Is it legal for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen and is uncondemned?”
When the centurion heard this, he went and reported to the commander, saying, “What are you going to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.”
He ordered that the centurion keep Paul under guard, though he could have some freedom, and that he should not prevent any of his friends from serving him.
When it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Imperial Regiment.
There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
But the centurion paid attention to the captain and the owner of the ship rather than to what Paul said.
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
But the centurion kept them from carrying out their plan because he wanted to save Paul, so he ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
