Read in context

Matthew 8:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

6 “Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

7 “I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
