The Faith of the Centurion - When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.” Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?” The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man ...

Jun 1, 2010 · Both Luke (Luke 7:9) and Matthew (Matthew 8:10) use the Greek word thaumazo (thou-mad'-zo) which we translate "marveled" or "amazed" to describe Jesus' response to the centurion's faith. The only time this word is used to describe Jesus' response to others' faith is in Mark 6:6, when he marvels at the lack of faith in the people of Nazareth ...

To give you some context, Jesus had just finished His Sermon on the Mount and was passing through Capernaum. Word must’ve gotten out that He was there because a Roman centurion sent Jewish leaders to find Jesus. Centurions were Roman officers who were in charge of 100 soldiers, and it was very unlikely, bizarre even, to find one hanging out with Je...
When the Jewish leaders meet Jesus they beg Him to come to heal a servant on behalf of the centurion. After saying this, Jesus and his entourage follow them. It’s strange, however, that it looks like the centurion’s worthiness, love, and works, are what motivate Jesus to follow. It’s sad that this part of the passage is what most people are living ...
Just as the centurion recognizes how unworthy he is and how worthy Jesus is, he also knows that Jesus has the ultimate authority. Remember, this centurion had 100 soldiers under his command. He was wealthy enough to build a synagogue. He could have chosen to bribe or threaten Jesus. But he didn’t. He believes that Jesus is who He says He is, and th...
The centurion came to Jesus with humility and acknowledging His authority by faith. What even is faith? How does it affect our relationship with Jesus? Faith is believing in something, even if it hasn’t been proven or come true yet. The centurion made the healing of his servant a reality by putting his faith in Jesus, who has proven that what is un...
In other versions, the Bible says that Jesus was amazed, and for good reason. In all of Israel, the people who know of the wondrous works of God, Jesus could not find a more faith-filled person. And He said it right in front of everyone. Because of the centurion’s faith, we see Jesus marvel, and we remember that the only other time Jesus was amazed...
Throughout this story, the centurion only ever approached Jesus with humility, faith, and love. The centurion didn’t even view himself as worthy enough to go and meet Jesus or make Him walk all the way to his house, instead he humbled himself and trusted Jesus. He believed in who Jesus was, knowing that his faith gave God room to move and heal in b...
The Faith of a Centurion. 5 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 only say the word ...
The centurion's faith is evident in his belief that Jesus' word alone is sufficient for healing. The Greek word "logos" here signifies not just a spoken word, but the divine expression of God's will. This reflects a deep understanding of the power and authority of Jesus' words, reminiscent of the creative power of God's word in Genesis.

This phrase is pivotal, as it connects the centurion's faith directly to the outcome. The Greek word "πιστεύω" (pisteuō) for "believed" indicates a deep trust and confidence in Jesus' power and authority. The centurion's belief is not just intellectual assent but a profound trust that Jesus can heal his servant without physical presence.
