“I was a centurion in Capernaum, and my servant lay at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. I came to Jesus for help, and he said he would come and heal him. I answered, "Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." I knew about authority. I tell a soldier to go, and he goes. Jesus marvelled and said he had not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. He told me to go my way, and as I had believed, so it would be done. My servant was healed in the selfsame hour. His word is enough.”
