Matthew 8:5-13

5And 1when 2Jesus entered Capernaum, a 3centurion came to Him, begging Him, 6and saying, “4Lord, my 5servant is lying 6paralyzed at home, terribly tormented.” 7Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8But the centurion replied, “7Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just 8say the word, and my 9servant will be healed. 9For I also am a man under 10authority, 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.” 10Now when Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith 11with anyone in Israel. 11And I say to you that many 12will come from east and west, and 13recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12but 14the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into 15the outer darkness; in that place 16there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; 17it shall be done for you 18as you have believed.” And the 19servant was healed at that very 20moment.
