Jesus marvels at the faith of a Gentile, who claims that Jesus can heal his paralyzed servant with just a word due to his position of authority in God. Jesus claims that many Gentiles will be at the messianic banquet in heaven and then heals the servant with a word.

A'. Centurion's Request

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 also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me;

I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
