8.5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him, ^8.6 and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented." ^8.7 Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him." ^8.8 The centurion answered, "Lord, I\'m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. ^8.9 For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, \'Go,\' and he goes; and to another, \'Come,\' and he comes; and to my servant, \'Do this,\' and he does it." ^8.10 When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Most assuredly I tell you, I haven\'t found so great a faith, not even in Israel. ^8.11 I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven, ^8.12 but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth." ^8.13 Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you as you have believed." His servant was healed in that hour. '' None
