Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:1-10 tell the story of Jesus healing the servant of a centurion. In this story, the centurion, who is a Roman military officer, comes to Jesus and asks him to heal his servant. Jesus offers to come to the centurion's home, but the centurion shows great faith and tells Jesus that he believes he can heal the servant from a distance.
Jesus is amazed by the centurion's faith and heals the servant, saying "Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would." This story emphasizes the power of faith and the idea that healing and miracles can come from unexpected places.
