5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum there came to him a Centurion who implored his help.

6 "Sir," he said, "my servant lies in my house a paralytic, in great distress."

7 Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."

8 The Centurion answered, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but just speak the word and my servant will be cured.

9 For I am a man, \'97 under authority, \'97 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."

10 When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said, "Truly I tell you, I have not found so great faith on the part of any one in Israel.

11 I tell you many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the darkness outside. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

13 Then Jesus said to the Centurion, "Go. As you have believed, so be it to you." His servant was healed that very hour.
