Matthew 8:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 8:10

8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, ^aI am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only ^bspeak a word, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘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 marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

11 And I say to you that ^amany will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But ^athe sons of the kingdom ^bwill be cast 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 same hour.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed

14 ^aNow when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw ^bhis wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
