Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant

7 After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, ^(A)he entered Capernaum. ²Now a centurion had a servant^[a] who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. ³When the centurion^[b] heard about Jesus, ^(B)he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. ⁴And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, ^(C)“He is worthy to have you do this for him, ⁵for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us ^(D)our synagogue.” ⁶And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, ^(E)do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. ⁷Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But ^(F)say the word, and let my servant be healed. ⁸For I too am a man set 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.” ⁹When Jesus heard these things, ^(G)he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such ^(H)faith.” ¹⁰And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.

The Faith of a Centurion

⁵^(A)When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, ⁶“Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” ⁷And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” ⁸But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but ^(B)only say the word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹For 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,^[a] ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” ¹⁰When Jesus heard this, ^(C)he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with ^(D)no one in Israel^[b] have I found such faith. ¹¹I tell you, ^(E)many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, ¹²^(F)while the sons of the kingdom ^(G)will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place ^(H)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” ¹³And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you ^(I)as you have believed.” ^(J)And the servant was healed at that very moment.
