P.1647 - §4 And when
Jesus had heard them, he said, "I will go with you." And as he
went with them over to the centurion's house, and before
they had entered his yard, the Roman soldier sent his friends out to greet
Jesus, instructing them to say: "Lord, trouble not yourself to enter
my house, for I am not worthy that you
P.1648 - §0 should come under my roof. Neither did I think myself worthy
to come to you; wherefore I sent the elders of your own people. But I know
that you can speak the word where you stand and my servant will be healed.
For I am myself under the orders of others, and I have soldiers under me,
and I say to this one go, and he goes; to another come, and he comes, and
to my servants do this or do that, and they do it." |

P.1648 - §1 And when Jesus heard these words, he
turned and said to his apostles and those who were with them: "I
marvel at the belief of the gentile. Verily, verily, I say to you, I have
not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." Jesus, turning from
the house, said, "Let us go hence." And the friends of the centurion
went into the house and told Mangus what Jesus had said. And from that
hour the servant began to mend and was eventually restored to his normal
health and usefulness.
