Context of Matthew 8:7
5Now when Yeshua came into Capernaum, a centurion came begging for help. 6“Master,” he said, “my servant is lying at home paralyzed, horribly tormented.” Yeshua said to him, “I’ll come and heal him.” 8But the centurion said, “Master, I’m not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word and my servant will be healed. 9For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-13Verses 5-13 This centurion was a heathen, a Roman soldier. Though he was a soldier, yet he was a godly man. No man's calling or place will be an excuse for unbelief and sin. See how he states his servant's case. We should concern ourselves for the souls of our children and servants, who are spiritually sick, who feel not spiritual evils, who know not that which is spiritually good; and we should bring them to Christ by faith and prayers.
