Jesus Heals A Centurion’s Servant (Luke 7:1-10) (Matthew 8:5-13)

1When He had completed all His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.2And a centurion’s slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die.3When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.4When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him;5for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue.”6Now Jesusstartedon His way with them; and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof;7for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, butjustsay the word, and my servant will be healed.8“For I also am a man placed under authority, 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.”9Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”10When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

5And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,6and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.”7Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”8But the centurion said, “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.9“For I also am a man under authority, 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 doesit.”10Now when Jesus heardthis,He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.11“I say to you that many will come from east and west, and reclineat the tablewith Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;12but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”13And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that verymoment.
