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.
