5. When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,

6. and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."

7. Jesus said to him,"I will come and heal him."

8. The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9. For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

10. When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed,"Most certainly I tell you, I haven't found so great a faith, not even in Israel.

11. I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,

12. but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

13. Jesus said to the centurion,"Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." His servant was healed in that hour.

1. After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2. A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.

3. When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

4. When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,

5. for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us."

6. Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.

7. Therefore I didn't even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8. For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go!' and he goes; and to another, 'Come!' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

9. When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him,"I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel."

10. Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
