This is the story of the centurion whose servant was ill and he asked the Lord to heal the boy just by speaking it. 10 when Jesus heard this he was astonished and said to those following him, “I tell you the truth I have not found anyone in Israel with such faith. 11i say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Issac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 but the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth”.
