And when Iesus was entred into Capernaum, there came vnto him a Centurion, beseeching him,

And saying, Lord, my seruant lieth at home sicke of the palsie, grieuously tormented.

And Iesus saith vnto him, I will come, and heale him.

The Centurion answered, and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come vnder my roofe: but speake the word onely, and my seruant shalbe healed.

For I am a man vnder authority, hauing souldiers vnder me: and I say to this man, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doth it.

When Iesus heard it, he marueiled, and said to them that followed, Uerely, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.

And I say vnto you, that many shall come from the East and West, and shal sit downe with Abraham, and Isaac, & Iacob, in the kingdome of heauen:

But the children of the kingdome shall be cast out into outer darkenesse: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And Iesus said vnto the Centurion, Go thy way, and as thou hast beleeued, so be it done vnto thee. And his seruant was healed in the self same houre.
