The faith of the centurion
When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.
-
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, ‘Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
-
He replied, ‘You of little faith, why are you so afraid?’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Some men brought to him a paralysed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, ‘Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.’
-
Jesus turned and saw her. ‘Take heart, daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has healed you.’ And the woman was healed at that moment.
-
Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith let it be done to you’;
-
And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. ‘You of little faith,’ he said, ‘why did you doubt?’

Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

Then Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.’ And her daughter was healed at that moment.

Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, ‘You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread?
-
He replied, ‘Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.’
-
Jesus replied, ‘Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig-tree, but also you can say to this mountain, “Go, throw yourself into the sea,” and it will be done.
-
At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
-
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralysed man, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven.’
-
He said to his disciples, ‘Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?’
-
He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.’
-
He was amazed at their lack of faith.
