When Jesus entered Capernaum, a Roman centurion came to Him, pleading:

“Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”

Jesus replied:

“Shall I come and heal him?”

But the centurion said:

“Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes.”

Hearing this, Jesus was amazed and said to those following Him:

“Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith!”

Then Jesus said to the centurion:

“Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.”

And at that very moment, the servant was healed.

💡 Meaning and Lesson

• The centurion’s humility (“I am not worthy…”) and faith in Jesus’ authority impressed even Jesus Himself.
• It shows that faith transcends nationality or position — even a Roman soldier could believe deeply in Christ.
• It reminds us that Jesus’ power is not limited by distance — His word alone heals.
• It also teaches us the beauty of trusting God’s authority completely, even without seeing.
