1
When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.
2
And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."
3
Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4
And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
5
Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,
6
saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."
7
And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
8
The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak 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 many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
