June 4, 2028
Overview & Insights
“I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” (Luke 7:9)
A Roman centurion, loved by the Jewish elders for building their synagogue, sends word asking Jesus to heal his dying servant without needing to come under his roof. Jesus marvels at the centurion's confidence in his authority and heals the servant at a distance, praising a faith he had not found in Israel.
