Matthew 8:5-13Good News Translation (GNT)
Jesus Heals a Roman Officer's Servant
5 When Jesus entered Capernaum, a Roman officer met him and
begged for help: 6 “Sir, my servant is sick in bed at home, unable to
move and suffering terribly.”
7 “I will go and make him well,” Jesus said.
8 “Oh no, sir,” answered the officer. “I do not deserve to have you
come into my house. Just give the order, and my servant will get
well. 9 I, too, am a man under the authority of superior officers, and I
have soldiers under me. I order this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and I
order that one, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and I order my slave, ‘Do
this!’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he was surprised and said to the people
following him, “I tell you, I have never found anyone in Israel with
faith like this. 11 I assure you that many will come from the east and
the west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in
the Kingdom of heaven. 12 But those who should be in the Kingdom
will be thrown out into the darkness, where they will cry and gnash
their teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go home, and what
you believe will be done for you.”
And the officer's servant was healed that very moment.
The Lord gave a vision of two shoes. One was the shoe of the
Roman Centurion and the other the shoe of the Fisherman/Jesus.
The Fisherman spoke as he tied the two shoes together and handed
them to me. "You are worthy to wear these shoes and share the
Good News of my love."
The faith of the Centurion and the anointing of the Fisherman/Jesus,
who shows us how to fish for people, are the vital link for this time of
harvest.
