Matthew 8:8-15 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to 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 this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israelhave I found such faith.

11. I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline 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. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13. And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.

14. And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.

15. He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him.
