A Certain Centurion's Faith and the Healing of his Servant
Matt. 8:1, 5-13
1. And when He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.
5. And when He had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, entreating Him,
6. and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering great pain."
7. And He said to him, "I will come and heal him."
8. But the centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9. "For I, too, am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, `Go!' and he goes, and to another, `Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, `Do this!' and he does it."
10. Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled, and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.
11. "And I say to you, that many shall come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;
12. but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
13. And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; let it be done to you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very hour.
Luke 7:1-10
1. When He had completed all His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
2. And a certain centurion's slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die.
3. And when he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.
4. And when they had come to Jesus, they earnestly entreated Him, saying, "He is worthy for You to grant this to him;
5. for he loves our nation, and it was he who built us our synagogue."
6. Now Jesus started on His way with them; and when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof;
7. for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8. "For I, too, am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, `Go!' and he goes; and to another, `Come!' and he comes; and to my slave, `Do this!' and he does it."
9. Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude that was following Him, "I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith."
10. And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
