Matthew 8:8

The Faith of the Centurion

7“I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.8The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.9For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
