The centurions servant..Matthew 8:5-13

[RebornInChrist]

When reading the Gospel of Matthew I realized that I believe Jesus was speaking about the centurions servant when he said--"Truly I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith"--
I always thought it was Jesus speaking about the centurion!
I believe he was talking about the servant now because the centurion said in verse 9: "For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. 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."

I am thankful the Lord has revealed this to me!

God bless you all!

It took a while to find the vs 9 you're referring to -- in Chapter 8

That's the Holy Spirit teaching you. It was the centurians' servant who was paralyzed and healed.

And the centurian was placing his faith in Jesus' ability to heal his servant without even being with him or touching him.
