Matthew 8:10-15 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to those who were with him, “I tell you the truth. This man has more faith than any other person I have found, even in Israel.

11. Many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit and eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12. And those people who should have the kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness. In that place people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.”

13. Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go home. Your servant will be healed just as you believed he would.” And at that same time his servant was healed.

14. Jesus went to Peter’s house. There Jesus saw that Peter’s mother-in-law was in bed with a high fever.

15. Jesus touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she stood up and began to serve Jesus.
