The shocking point of Jesus statement is that this Gentile centurion believed in Jesus and his authority while most of the surrounding Jewish people do not. Such faith Matthew 8:10 Not found such faith in Israel. As Yeshua entered Kfar-Nachum, a Roman army officer came up and pleaded for help. This centurion recognized Jesus authority, a repeated theme in Matthew (Matt. 7 Jesus said to him, Shall I come and heal him. 6 Lord, he said, my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly. The centurion's greeting made such a deep. 5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. but say the word and let my servant be healed' (Luke 7:6-7). When Jesus arrived at the house, the centurion receives him, saying, 'I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof. 3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. 2 Now a centurion had a servant who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. After His entry into Capernaum a Captain came to Him, and entreated Him. The centurion could have gone himself, but he may have stayed behind in order to care for this servant, who was dear to him. For example: Luke 7:1-10 After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. 11 I tell you, ( E)many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 ( F)while the sons of the kingdom ( G)will be thrown into the outer darkness. Wesleys New Testament (1755) And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, Weymouths New Testament. And I say to one, ‘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 this, ( C)he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with ( D)no one in Israel have I found such faith.

The first surprise is that the centurion would have been a member of the Roman army and therefore a Gentile but He was interested in seeking Jesus’ help. 'Lord,' he said, 'my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly. Matthew 8:5-13 The second miracle recounted in Matthew chapter 8 is that of the centurion’s servant. 5 ( A)When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, 6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7 And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but ( B)only say the word, and my servant will be healed. The story of the centurion appears both in the Gospel of Matthew and that of Luke: When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.
