8:5 - [In Context ]When Jesus arrived in Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him,
8:6 - [In Context ]"Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and racked with pain."
8:7 - [In Context ]Jesus said, "I will come and heal him."
8:8 - [In Context ]Then 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!
8:9 - [In Context ]I know, 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 or that,' they do it."
8:10 - [In Context ]When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd, he said, "I tell you the truth, I haven't seen faith like this in all the land of Israel!
8:11 - [In Context ]And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.
8:12 - [In Context ]But many Israelites – those for whom the Kingdom was prepared – will be cast into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
8:13 - [In Context ]Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, "Go on home. What you have believed has happened." And the young servant was healed that same hour.
