Commentary on Matthew 8:5
The centurion's approach demonstrates remarkable faith from an unexpected source—a Roman officer occupying Israel. His words 'Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented' show concern for a servant (possibly slave) rare among Romans. His coming to Jesus despite being a Gentile and military commander shows humility and desperation overcoming pride and prejudice.
