Station: [30] Capernaum


Do you remember: There was a soldier lying in the Roman centurion's house, unable to move and crying out in pain. The centurion sent to me to heal the soldier. The Jewish elders told me to go, saying that the captain was wonderful and had sponsored the synagogue for them. On the way there, his servants met us and said: "I don't need to come, a word from me is enough. He, the captain, also gave orders and they obeyed him. When he calls, go, someone goes. I tell you, I have not found faith like that of this occupying soldier in all of Israel. And this is what we call a pagan. And I said to the servants: go. Let what the centurion believed be done.
