The Centurion’s Faith

5 And ^awhen ^{▼▼Lit He}Jesus entered Capernaum, a ^{▼▼I.e., a Roman military officer}centurion came to Him, begging Him, 6 and saying, “ ^{▼▼Or Sir}Lord, my ^{▼▼Lit boy}servant is lying ^fparalyzed at home, terribly tormented.” 7 Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion replied, “ ^{▼▼Or Sir}Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just ^{▼▼Lit say with a word}say the word, and my ^{▼▼Lit boy}servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under ^jauthority, 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.” 10 Now 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 ^{▼▼One early ms not even in Israel}with anyone in Israel. 11 And I say to you that many ^lwill come from east and west, and ^{▼▼I.e., to dine}recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12 but ⁿthe sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into ^othe outer darkness; in that place ^pthere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; ^{▼▼Or it is to be done; Gr imperative, i.e., a command}it shall be done for you ^ras you have believed.” And the ^{▼▼Lit boy}servant was healed at that very ^{▼▼Lit hour}moment.
