1. When He came down from the mountains, large crowds followed Him.
2. And then a leper came and worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3. Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, saying, “I will. Be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4. Then 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. And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, entreating Him,
6. and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home, sick with paralysis, terribly tormented.”
7. 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 speak the word only, and my servant will be healed.
9. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this man, ‘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 was amazed and said to those who followed, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.
11. And I say to you that many will come from the east and west and will dine with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12. But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown 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 very moment.
