5 And when He had arrived at Capernaum, a military officer approached Him, begging,
6 “Sir, my slave-boy is at home sick in bed with a paralyzing disease and in serious pain.”
7 Jesus said, “I will go and heal him.”
8 But the military officer answered, “Sir, I do not deserve for you to come into my house; just say the word and [I know] my slave-boy will be healed.
9 For I also am a man [who serves] under the authority [of others], and I have soldiers [who serve] under me. I can say to this one ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another one, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 And when Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following [along], “It is true when I tell to you, I have never found [anyone with] such great faith, not [even] among the Israelites.
11 And I [also] say to you, that many people will come from the east and the west and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the children who [are supposed to] belong to the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness where there will be crying and excruciating pain.”
13 And Jesus said to the military officer, “Go on your way; since you have believed [in my power to heal], what you desired will be done for you.” And the slave-boy was healed that [very] hour.
