Matthew 8:5-13

Matthew 8:5-13

When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,
and saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
Jesus said to him,
“I will come and heal him.”
The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed,
“Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.


I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,


but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Jesus said to the centurion,
“Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.
