Matthew 8:9 in Context — Matthew 8

7 Jésus lui dit: J’irai, et je le guérirai.

8 Le centenier répondit: Seigneur, je ne suis pas digne que tu entres sous mon toit; mais dis seulement un mot, et mon serviteur sera guéri.

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.
