Jesus Heals the Centurion’s Servant (Matthew 8:5-13, Luke 7:1-10)
Teacher: Pastor Joshua Luis Pereira
 
(5) When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer (Note-  Greek a centurion; similarly in 8:8, 13.) came and pleaded with him, (6) “Lord, my young servant (Note-  Or child; also in 8:13.) lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.” (7) Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” (8) But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. (9) I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.” (10) When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel! (11) And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven. (12) But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (13) Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour. Matthew 8:5-13 (NLT)
 
When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people, he returned to Capernaum. (2) At that time the highly valued slave of a Roman officer (Note-  Greek a centurion; similarly in 7:6.) was sick and near death. (3) When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some respected Jewish elders to ask him to come and heal his slave. (4) So they earnestly begged Jesus to help the man. “If anyone deserves your help, he does,” they said, (5) “for he loves the Jewish people and even built a synagogue for us.” (6) So Jesus went with them. But just before they arrived at the house, the officer sent some friends to say, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself by coming to my home, for I am not worthy of such an honor. (7) I am not even worthy to come and meet you. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. (8) I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.” (9) When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!” (10) And when the officer’s friends returned to his house, they found the slave completely healed.
Luke 7:1-10 – NLT
 
(54) The Roman officer (Note-  Greek The centurion.) and the other soldiers at the crucifixion were terrified by the earthquake and all that had happened. They said, “This man truly was the Son of God!” Matthew 27:54 – NLT
 
In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer (Note-  Greek a centurion; similarly in 10:22.) named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment. (2) He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household. He gave generously to the poor and prayed regularly to God. Acts 10:1-2 – NLT
 
(25) When they tied Paul down to lash him, Paul said to the officer (Note-  Greek the centurion; also in 22:26.) standing there, “Is it legal for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been tried?” (26) When the officer heard this, he went to the commander and asked, “What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!” Acts 22:25-26 – NLT
 
 
(10) As the conflict grew more violent, the commander was afraid they would tear Paul apart. So he ordered his soldiers to go and rescue him by force and take him back to the fortress. Acts 23:10 – NLT
