*
When he entered Capernaum ,
a centurion approached him .
*
He said : »
Lord ,
my servant is lying paralyzed at home and terribly tormented .«
*
Jesus said to him : »
I will come and heal him .«
*
The centurion replied to Jesus : »
Lord ,
I am not worthy that you come under my roof .
Say the word and my servant will be healed .
* »
I also am a man having authority and commanding soldiers .
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 was amazed ,
and said to the crowd : »
I tell you ,
I have not found such great faith in Israel .
* »
I tell you ,
many will come from the east and the west ,
to sit down with Abraham ,
and Isaac ,
and Jacob ,
in the kingdom of heaven :
* »
but the sons of the kingdom will be cast forth into the outer darkness :
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth .«
*
Jesus said to the centurion : »
Go .
Just as you believe ,
so it will be done to you .«
The servant was healed in that hour .
