Matthew 8:5-10, 13
KJV—And when Jesus was entered into
Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion,
beseeching him, And saying, Lord,
my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto
him, I will come and heal him. The centurion
answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy
that thou shouldest come under my roof:
but speak the word only, and my servant
shall be healed. For I am a man under
authority, having soldiers under me: and I
say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to
another, Come, and he cometh; and to my
servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and
said to them that followed, Verily I say unto
you, I have not found so great faith, no, not
in Israel.

And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go
thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it
done unto thee. And his servant was healed
in the selfsame hour.

Amp—As Jesus went into Capernaum, a
centurion came up to Him, begging Him And
saying, Lord, my servant boy is lying at the
house paralyzed and distressed with intense
pains. And Jesus said to him, I will come
and restore him. But the centurion replied
to Him, Lord, I am not worthy or fit to have
You come under my roof; but only speak
the word, and my servant boy will be cured.
For I also am a man subject to authority,
with soldiers subject to 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 [that is,
who adhered steadfastly to Him, conforming
to His example in living and if need be
in dying also], I tell you, truly I have not
found so much faith as this with any one,
even in Israel.

Then to the centurion Jesus said, Go; it
shall be done for you as you have believed.
And the servant boy was restored to health
at that very moment.

Moffatt—When he entered Capharnahum,
an army-captain came up to him and
appealed to him, saying, “Sir, my servant is
lying ill at home with paralysis, in terrible
agony.” He replied, “I will come and heal
him.” The captain answered, “Sir, I am not
fit to have you under my roof; only say the
word, and my servant will be cured. For
though I am a man under authority myself,
I have soldiers under me; I tell one man to
go, and he goes, I tell another to come, and
he comes, I tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he
does it.”

When Jesus heard that, he marvelled;
“I tell you truly,” he said to his followers,
“I have never met faith like this anywhere
in Israel.”

Then said Jesus to the captain, “Go; as you
have had faith, your prayer is granted.” And
the servant was cured at that very hour.

NEB—When he had entered Capernaum a
centurion came up to ask his help. ‘Sir,’ he
said, ‘a boy of mine lies at home paralysed
and racked with pain.’ Jesus said, ‘I will come
and cure him.’ But the centurion replied, ‘Sir,
who am I to have you under my roof? You
need only say the word and the boy will be
cured. I know, for I am myself under orders,
with soldiers under me. I say to one, “Go”,
and he goes; to another, “Come here”, and
he comes; and to my servant, “Do this”, and
he does it.’

Jesus heard him with astonishment, and
said to the people who were following him,
‘I tell you this: nowhere, even in Israel, have I
found such faith.’

Then Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go
home now; because of your faith, so let it
be.’ At that moment the boy recovered.
