CENTURION'S BOY CURED | ||||
36 | Matt 8 | Mark | 53 | Luke 7 |
1 | After he had ended all his sayings | |||
in the hearing of the people | ||||
5 | As he entered Capernaum, | he entered Capernaum. | ||
a centurion came forward to him, | 2 | Now a centurion | ||
had a slave who was dear to him, | ||||
who was sick | ||||
and at the point of death. | ||||
3 | When he heard of Jesus, | |||
he sent to him elders of the Jews, | ||||
asking him to come* | ||||
and heal* his slave. | ||||
4 | And when they came to Jesus, | |||
beseeching him | they besought him earnestly, | |||
6 | and saying, "Lord, | saying, | ||
my servant is lying paralyzed at home, | ||||
in terrible distress." | ||||
"He is worthy to have you do this for him, | ||||
5 | for he loves our nation, | |||
and he built us our synagogue." | ||||
7 | And he said to him, | |||
"I will come and heal* him." | ||||
6 | And Jesus went with them. | |||
When he was not far from the house, | ||||
8 | But the centurion | the centurion sent friends to him, | ||
answered him, | saying to him, | |||
"Lord, | "Lord, do not trouble yourself, | |||
I am not worthy | for I am not worthy | |||
to have you come under my roof; | to have you come under my roof; | |||
7 | therefore I did not presume | |||
to come to you. | ||||
but only say the word, | But say the word, | |||
and my servant will be healed. | and let my servant be healed. | |||
9 | For I am a man under authority, | 8 | For I am a man set under authority, | |
with soldiers under me; | with soldiers under me: | |||
and I say to one, `Go,' | and I say to one, `Go,' | |||
and he goes, | and he goes; | |||
and to another, `Come,' | and to another, `Come,' | |||
and he comes, | and he comes; | |||
and to my slave, `Do this,' | and to my slave, `Do this,' | |||
and he does it." | and he does it." | |||
10 | When Jesus heard him, | 9 | When Jesus heard this | |
he marveled, | he marveled at him, | |||
and said | and turned and said | |||
to those who followed him, | to the multitude that followed him, | |||
"Truly, I say to you, | "I tell you, | |||
not even in Israel have I found such faith. | not even in Israel have I found such faith." | |||
11 | I tell you, | |||
many will come from east and west | [see Luke 13:28-29] | |||
and sit at table | ||||
with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob | ||||
in the kingdom of heaven, | ||||
12 | while the sons of the kingdom | |||
will be thrown into the outer darkness; | ||||
there men will weep | ||||
and gnash their teeth." | ||||
13 | And to the centurion Jesus said, | |||
"Go; | ||||
be it done for you as you have believed." | ||||
And the servant was healed | ||||
at that very moment. | ||||
10 | And when those who had been sent | |||
returned to the house, | ||||
they found the slave well. |
