Healing Miracles

Healing the Centurion's Servant

Great Faith in Israel

Description

A Roman centurion sought healing for his paralyzed servant but declared himself unworthy for Jesus to enter his home—only speak the word, and his servant would be healed. Jesus marveled at such faith.

Key Verses

Matthew 8:5-13

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him... The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed... When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Luke 7:1-10

Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
