Matthew 8:11 in Context — Matthew 8

9 Car, moi qui suis soumis à des supérieurs, j’ai des soldats sous mes ordres; et je dis à l’un: Va! Et il va; à l’autre: Viens! Et il vient; et à mon serviteur: Fais cela! Et il le fait.

10 Après l’avoir entendu, Jésus fut dans l’étonnement, et il dit à ceux qui le suivaient: Je vous le dis en vérité, même en Israël je n’ai pas trouvé une aussi grande foi.

11 Or, je vous déclare que plusieurs viendront de l’orient et de l’occident, et seront à table avec Abraham, Isaac et Jacob, dans le royaume des cieux.

12 Mais les fils du royaume seront jetés dans les ténèbres du dehors,où il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents.

13 Puis Jésus dit au centenier: Va, qu’il te soit fait selon ta foi. Et à l’heure même le serviteur fut guéri.
