Matthew 8:6-16

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 1only say the word, and my servant will be healed.
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,[a]'Do this,' and he does it."
10 When Jesus heard this, 2he marveled and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I tell you, with 3no one in Israel[b] have I found such faith.
11 I tell you, 4many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
12 5while the sons of the kingdom 6will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place 7there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
13 And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; let it be done for you 8as you have believed." 9And the servant was healed at that very moment.

Jesus Heals Many

14 10And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw 11his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.
15 He 12touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him.
16 That evening they brought to him many who were 13oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits 14with a word and healed all who were sick.
