Matthew:8:5-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now when He had entered Capernaum ,
a centurion approached Him ,
begging Him ,
*
and saying , "
Lord ,
my servant has been laid up in the house a paralytic ,
being tormented terribly ."
*
And Jesus said to him , "
I will come and heal him ."
*
The centurion answered and said , "
Lord ,
I am not worthy that You should come under my roof .
But just say the word and my servant will be healed .
*
For I also am a man under authority ,
having soldiers under me .
And 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 ."
*
When Jesus heard it ,
He marveled ,
and said to those who were following , "
Assuredly ,
I say to you ,
I have not found such great faith ,
not even in Israel !
*
And I say to you that many shall come from east and west ,
and recline [
to eat ]
with Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven ;
*
but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness .
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth ."
*
Then Jesus said to the centurion , "
Go ;
and as you believed ,
may it be unto you ."
And his servant was healed that same hour .
