Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-10. And when he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him and saying: Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed and is grievously tormented. And Jesus said to him: I will come and heal him. And the centurion answered and said: Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. For I too am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it. And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed him: Truly I say to you, I have not found so great a faith in Israel.
And I say to you that many shall come from the East and the West, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; but the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as you have believed, so let it be done for you. And the servant was healed in that hour. And the centurion returned to his house, and found the servant who had been sick now well.
