Matthew 8:5-13

A Centurion’s Slave Healed
5 Now when[a] he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him, appealing to him 6 and saying, “Lord, my slave[b] is lying paralyzed in my[c] house, terribly tormented!” 7 And he said to him, “I will come and[d] heal him.” 8 And the centurion answered and[e] said, “Lord, I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof. But only say the word and my slave will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another one, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it[f].”
10 Now when[g] Jesus heard this,[h] he was astonished, and said to those who were following him,[i] “Truly I say to you, I have found such great faith with no one in Israel. 11 But I say to you that many will come from east and west and be seated at the banquet[j] with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!” 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go, as you have believed it will be done for you.” And the slave[k] was healed at that hour.
