§ 55. JESUS HEALS A CENTURION'S SERVANT AT CAPERNAUM
| Matt. 8:5-13 | Luke 7:1-10 |
| 5 And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6 and saying, Lord, my 1servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7 And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not 2worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only say 3the word, and my 1servant shall be healed. 9 For I also am a man 4under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my 5servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10 And when Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, 6I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11 And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall 7sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven [see Ps. 107:3; Isa. 49:12]: 12 but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed so be it done unto thee. And the 1servant was healed in that hour. | 1 After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion's 5servant, who was 8dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death. 3 And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his 5servant. 4 And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him: 5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue. 6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not 2worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: 7 wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say 3the word, and my 1servant shall be healed. 8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my 5servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 9 And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the 5servant whole. |
