Matthew 8:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ “I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

⁸ But the officer said, “Lord, I'm not good enough for you to come into my house. Just give the order, and my servant will get well. ^9 (A) I have officers who give orders to me, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I can say to one of them, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I can say to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I can say to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he will do it.”
