"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.
16
When evening came, many people held in the power of demons were brought to him. He expelled the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill.
