8:5-13 On entering into Capernaum a centurion approached him beseeching him and
saying. “Lord my boy has been laid
aside in the house as a paralytic terribly tortured.” He (Jesus) says to him. “I will heal him.” Answering the centurion said. “Lord I am not
worthy that you should enter under my roof.
Only say the word and my boy will be healed. For I myself am
a man in authority having soldiers under myself. I say to this one “Go” and he goes. To another I say, “Come” and he comes and
to my slave I say “Do
|
this”
and he does it.” Hearing this Jesus marvelled and said those following. “Truly I tell you that I have not found
such faith in anyone in Israel. And I tell you that many will come from
the east and west and will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the
kingdom of heaven. But the sons of
the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness were there will be
weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
Jesus said to the centurion.
“Go. Let it be done to you as
you believe.” And the boy was healed
in that hour.
