Matthew 8:9 in Context — Matthew 8

7 E Jesus lhe disse: Eu irei, e o curarei.

8 E o centurião respondeu: Senhor, não sou digno de que entres sob meu telhado; mas dize somente uma palavra, e o meu servo sarará.

9 Pois eu também sou homem debaixo de autoridade, e tenho debaixo de meu comando soldados; e digo a este: “Vai”, e ele vai; e ao outro: “Vem”, e vem; e a meu servo: “Faze isto”, e ele faz.

10 Quando Jesus ouviu [isto] , maravilhou-se, e disse aos que o seguiam: Em verdade vos digo que nem mesmo em Israel encontrei tanta fé.

11 Mas eu vos digo que muitos virão do oriente e do ocidente, e se sentarão à mesa com Abraão, Isaque, e Jacó, no Reino dos céus.
