and said, “Master, my servant lies at home, sick of the palsy and grievously pained.”

And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

But the centurion answered, saying, “Master, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But speak only the word, and my servant shall be healed.

“For I also am a man under authority and have 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.”
