 who comes to Jesus pleading for Jesus to heal his son. And he says those words. Now, think about what this would have meant. That Roman centurion comes to Jesus and his son is dying and he's begging, please come and heal my servant, heal my son. And this is not any ordinary guy. This is, first of all, a Gentile. Jews don't have any dealings with Gentiles. A faithful Jew wouldn't go to the house of a Gentile.
