The Miracles of Jesus Lesson 11: Healing the Centurion’s Servant Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-10

The City of Capernaum The setting for this miracle is again in Capernaum (Luke 7:1)

Roman Centurions A Centurion was the commander of 100 men (more or less) in the Roman Army. Each Roman Legion had 60 Centurions. “Centurions were sometimes employed on detached service... Men like Cornelius and Julius may have been separated from the legion to which they properly belonged for the discharge of special duties. They and other centurions mentioned in the Gospels and Acts are represented by the sacred writers in a favorable light” (ISBE online)

The Synagogue of Capernaum The centurion whose servant was sick had built the synagogue. (Luke 7:5) Synagogue

The Centurion in Luke 7:1-10 The Centurion in Luke 7:1-10 “ Represented by the sacred writers in a favorable light ” The Jews said, “He loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” Jesus said, “I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”

The Centurion did not regard himself as worthy. He understood the nature of Jesus’ authority from his experience as a soldier.

Healing the Centurion’s Servant Healing the Centurion’s Servant Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-10 Details of the Miracle:  Jesus “marveled” at the Centurion’s faith He says, “I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!" (Matthew 8:10)  Jesus teaches that people will come from all over to enjoy the blessings of the kingdom with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but the “sons of the kingdom” will be cast into outer darkness. (Matthew 8:11-12) Faith determines fellowship in the kingdom!  Jesus tells the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” The centurion was blessed according to his faith!  And his servant was healed that same hour.
