Matthew 8:5-13

8:5. When Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a centurion, beseeching Him,

8:6. and saying, “Lord, my servant lies at home sick with palsy, and is grievously tormented.”

8:7. Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

8:8. The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

8:9. “For I also am a man subject to 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.”

8:10. Jesus hearing this, marveled, and said to those who followed Him, “Amen, I say to you, I have not found such great faith in Israel.

8:11. “I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,

8:12. “but the children of the Kingdom shall be cast out into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

8:13. Jesus said to the centurion, “Go, and as you have believed, so be it done to you.” The servant was healed at the same hour.

Luke 7:2-10

7:2. A certain centurion had a servant who was dear to him, but the servant was sick and close to death.

7:3. When the centurion had heard of Jesus, he sent Him the ancients of the Jews, desiring Him to come and heal his servant.

7:4. When they came to Jesus, they besought Him earnestly, saying to Him, “He is worthy that You should do this for him.

7:5. “For he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue.”

'''7:6. Jesus went with them. When He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to Him, saying, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.'''

7:7. “For this reason I did not think myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

7:8. “For I also am a man subject to authority, having soldiers under me; I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; to another, 'Come,' and he comes; to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it.”

7:9. Jesus, hearing this, marveled, and turning around to the multitude that followed Him, He said, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel.”

7:10. Those who were sent, having returned to the house, found the servant who had been sick was healed.
