Bible Verses About Faith: In Christ, exemplified

As Yeshua entered K'far-Nachum, a Roman army officer came up and pleaded for help.

"Sir, my orderly is lying at home paralyzed and suffering terribly!"

Yeshua said, "I will go and heal him."

But the officer answered, "Sir, I am unfit to have you come into my home. Rather, if you will only give the command, my orderly will recover.

For I too am a man under authority. I have soldiers under me, and I say to this one, `Go!' and he goes; to another, `Come!' and he comes; to my slave, `Do this!' and he does it."

On hearing this Yeshua was amazed and said to the people following him, "Yes! I tell you, I have not found anyone in Isra'el with such trust!

He answered, "It is not right to take the children's food and toss it to their pet dogs."

She said, "That is true, sir, but even the dogs eat the leftovers that fall from their master's table."

Then Yeshua answered her, "Lady, you are a person of great trust. Let your desire be granted." And her daughter was healed at that very moment.

He said, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's food and toss it to their pet dogs."

She answered him, "That is true, sir; but even the dogs under the table eat the children's leftovers."

Then he said to her, "For such an answer you may go on home; the demon has left your daughter."

She went back home and found the child lying on the couch, the demon gone.

Hearing about Yeshua, the officer sent some Jewish elders to him with the request that he come and heal his servant.

They came to Yeshua and pleaded earnestly with him, "He really deserves to have you do this,

for he loves our people -- in fact, he built the synagogue for us!"

So Yeshua went with them. He had not gone far from the house, when the officer sent friends who said to him, "Sir, don't trouble yourself. I'm not worthy to have you come under my roof --

this is why I didn't presume to approach you myself. Instead, just give a command and let my servant recover.

For I too am a man set under authority. I have soldiers under me; and I say to this one, `Go!' and he goes; and to another, `Come!' and he comes; and to my slave, `Do this!' and he does it."

Yeshua was astonished at him when he heard this; and he turned and said to the crowd following him, "I tell you, not even in Isra'el have I found such trust!"

Shim‘on Kefa answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the word of eternal life.

We have trusted, and we know that you are the Holy One of God.”

Many people came to him and said, “Yochanan performed no miracles, but everything Yochanan said about this man was true.”

And many people there put their trust in him.

Marta said to Yeshua, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
