5. And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, entreating Him,
6. and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home, sick with paralysis, terribly tormented.”
7. Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8. The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But speak the word only, and my servant will be healed.
9. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this man, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10. When Jesus heard it, He was amazed and said to those who followed, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.
11. And I say to you that many will come from the east and west and will dine with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12. But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13. Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. And as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that very moment.
14. When Jesus entered Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother, lying sick with a fever.
15. He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose and served them.
16. When the evening came, they brought to Him many who were possessed with demons. And He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all who were sick,
17. to fulfill what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, “He Himself took our infirmitiesand bore our sicknesses.”
