Matthew 8:10

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.

<< Matthew 8:9

Matthew 8:11 >>

Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled. There are two cases in the Lord's history where he is said to have marvelled; here and in Mark 6:6. In one case he marvels at the faith of a Gentile; in the other at the unbelief of the Jews. I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. The greatness of his faith is shown in his lofty conception of the power and dignity of Christ. This great faith was found, not in Israel, but in a Gentile. In one case beside, that of the Syrophoenician woman (Matthew 15:28), also a Gentile, the Lord commends the greatness of faith.
