As Yeshua entered K'far-Nachum, a Roman army officer came up and pleaded for help.
6
"Sir, my orderly is lying at home paralyzed and suffering terribly!"
7
Yeshua said, "I will go and heal him."
8
But the officer answered, "Sir, I am unfit to have you come into my home. Rather, if you will only give the command, my orderly will recover.
9
For I too am a man under authority. I have soldiers under me, and I say to this one, `Go!' and he goes; to another, `Come!' and he comes; to my slave, `Do this!' and he does it."
10
On hearing this Yeshua was amazed and said to the people following him, "Yes! I tell you, I have not found anyone in Isra'el with such trust!
11
Moreover, I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west to take their places at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven with Avraham, Yitz'chak and Ya`akov.
12
But those born for the Kingdom will be thrown outside in the dark, where people will wail and grind their teeth!"
13
Then Yeshua said to the officer, "Go; let it be for you as you have trusted." And his orderly was healed at that very moment.
14
Yeshua went to Kefa's home and there saw Kefa's mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.
15
He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she got up and began helping him.
