The Centurion’s Faith

⁵ And ^(A)when ^[a]Jesus entered Capernaum, a ^[b]centurion came to Him, begging Him, ⁶ and saying, “^[c]Lord, my ^[d]servant is lying ^(B)paralyzed at home, terribly tormented.” ⁷ Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.” ⁸ But the centurion replied, “^[e]Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just ^[f]say the word, and my ^[g]servant will be healed. ⁹ For I also am a man under ^(C)authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
