Matthew 8:5-13
Wycliffe Bible
5 And when he had entered into Capernaum, the centurion approached to him, and prayed him, [Soothly when he entered into Capernaum, (the) centurion nighed to him, praying him,]
6 and said, Lord, my child lieth in the house sick on the palsy, and is evil tormented. [and saying, Lord, my child lieth in the house sick in palsy, and is evil tormented.]
7 And Jesus said to him [And Jesus saith to him], I shall come, and shall heal him.
8 And the centurion answered, and said to him, Lord, I am not worthy, that thou enter under my roof; but only say thou by word [but only say by word], and my child shall be healed.
9 For why I am a man ordained under power, and have knights under me [having under me knights]; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 And Jesus heard these things, and wondered, and said to men following him, Truly I say to you, I found not so great faith in Israel.
11 And I say to you, that many shall come from the east and the west [that many shall come from the east and west], and shall rest with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heavens;
12 but the sons of the realm shall be cast out into outer-more darknesses; there shall be weeping, and grinding of teeth. [forsooth the sons of the realm shall be cast into uttermost darknesses; there shall be weeping, and beating together of teeth.]
13 And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it done to thee. And the child was healed from that hour.

New Matthew Bible
5 When Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came to him a certain centurion, who besought him, 6 saying, Master, my servant lies sick at home, paralyzed, and is grievously pained. 7 And Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him. 8 The centurion answered and said, Sir, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof. But speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9 For I also myself am a man subject to the authority of another, 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.
10 When Jesus heard that, he marvelled, and said to the people who followed him, Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel. 11 I say therefore to you that many will come from the east and west, and will rest with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 but the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, Go your way, and as you believe, so be it unto you. And his servant was healed that very same hour.

1599 Geneva Bible
5 ¶ (A)[a]When Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a Centurion, beseeching him,
6 And said, Master, my servant lieth sick at home of the palsy, and is grievously pained.
7 And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 But the Centurion answered, saying, Master, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man also under the authority of another, and have soldiers under me: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh: and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard that, he marveled, and said to them that followed him, Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, even in Israel.
11 But I say unto you, that many shall come from the East and West, and shall [b]sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 And the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into [c]utter (B)darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 Then Jesus said unto the Centurion, Go thy way, and as thou hast believed, so be it unto thee. And his servant was healed the same hour.
