13. And When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion
came forward to him, appealing to him, “Lord, my
servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering
terribly.” And he said to him, “I will come and heal
him.” But the centurion replied, “Lord I am not
worthy to have you come under my roof, but only
say the word, and my servant will be healed.

14. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers
under me. And I say to 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 this, he marveled and said to those who
followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel
have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come
from east and west and recline at table with

15. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of
heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be
thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there
will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And to the
centurion he said, “Go; let it be done for you as you
have believed.” And the servant was healed at that
very moment.
- Matthew 8:5-13 (ESV)
