The Lord Jesus Christ healed a Roman centurion's sick servant. When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent elders to ask Jesus to heal his servant. The centurion said he was not worthy for Jesus to come under his roof, but asked Jesus to just say the word and his servant would be healed. Jesus marveled at the centurion's great faith, saying He had not seen such faith in Israel. When those sent returned to the house, they found the servant healed at that very hour, according to the centurion's faith in the power of Jesus' word.
