Mt. 8:5 A Centurion Beseeches Jesus

The centurion expected THE healing.

Chrysostom: Some argue that the centurion, by his description, implied the reason why he had not brought his servant to Jesus, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress,” as though he was at his last gasp, or even, as Luke said, he was “at the point of death.” In my opinion, however, the reason he had not brought him in was itself a signofhis great faith, even much greater than those who let the patient down through the roof.Because the centurion knew for certain that even a mere command was enough for raising the servant up, he thought it unnecessaryto bring him. the gospel of Matthew, Homily 26.1
