5And awhen 1Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6and saying, “1Lord, my 2servant is 3lying aparalyzed at home, fearfully tormented.” 7And Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8But the centurion said, “1Lord, I am not good enough for You to come under my roof, but just 2say the word, and my 3servant will be healed. 9“For I also am a man under aauthority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this man, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” 10Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith 1with anyone in Israel. 11“And I say to you that many awill come from east and west, and 1recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12but athe sons of the kingdom will be cast out into bthe outer darkness; in that place cthere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; 1it shall be done for you aas you have believed.” And the 2servant was healed that very 3moment.
