*
As he entered Caper '
na-um ,
a centurion came forward to him ,
beseeching him
*
and saying , "
Lord ,
my servant is lying paralyzed at home ,
in terrible distress ."
*
And he said to him , "
I will come and heal him ."
*
But the centurion answered him , "
Lord ,
I am not worthy to have you come under my roof ;
but only say the word ,
and my servant will be healed .
*
For I am a man under authority ,
with soldiers under me ;
and I say to one , `
Go ,'
and he goes ,
and to another , `
Come ,'
and he comes ,
and to my slave , `
Do this ,'
and he does it ."
*
When Jesus heard him ,
he marveled ,
and said to those who followed him , "
Truly ,
I say to you ,
not even in Israel have I found such faith .
*
I tell you ,
many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven ,
*
while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness ;
there men will weep and gnash their teeth ."
*
And to the centurion Jesus said , "
Go ;
be it done for you as you have believed ."
And the servant was healed at that very moment .
