The centurion knew someone who was very close to him who was sick. He knew Jesus could heal the sick (because Jesus is God), so he went to Jesus. Jesus healed the sick man.
The centurion went to Jesus asking for healing because his servant was paralyzed and suffering. He believed in Jesus' power to heal and showed great faith, asking Jesus to simply speak a word for his servant to be healed. Jesus commended the centurion for his faith and granted his request.
It was the Roman centurion at the foot of the cross who acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. He proclaimed, "Truly this man was the Son of God" after witnessing Jesus' crucifixion.
People go to the Stations of the Cross as a way to reflect on the final moments of Jesus' life and to deepen their understanding of his sacrifice. It is a form of prayer and meditation that helps individuals connect spiritually with the journey Jesus took to his crucifixion.
The Gospel of Matthew portrays gentiles as people who can also receive salvation through Jesus Christ, not just the Jewish people. In the Great Commission at the end of the Gospel, Jesus instructs his disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, indicating a universal message of salvation. Additionally, Matthew includes the story of the Magi, gentile wise men who come to worship Jesus at his birth, as a sign of the inclusion of gentiles in God's plan of redemption.
Jesus knew He would soon be put to death and prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane.
No, Cornelius was not Greek. He is described in the Bible as a Roman centurion stationed in Caesarea who converted to Christianity after a divine vision.
Story of the centurion can be found in Matthew 8:5-10.
at most once sometimes none. for example for the roman centurion the centurion told jesus that he did not have to come to do the miracle the centurion needed, but just say it was done and it would be; because of jesus authority. no prayer said at all. the centurion had authority and recognized that jesus did too. jesus commented on this that he had not seen so much faith in any of the jews as he saw in that gentile roman centurion.
His incredible faith. The centurion asked Jesus to heal someone back home, claiming that Jesus could do it from right there, and wouldn't even have to travel back with the Centurion. Jesus was so impressed he proclaimed he had never seen a man of greater faith.
to the centurion's slave
Very little directly, but he did state directly that a certain Roman Centurion had more faith than any of the Jews. That Centurion recognized Jesus as a man with authority (like himself) and therefore believed that when Jesus said something would happen it would, Jesus did not have to go and do it personally (as the Jews tended to believe).
The Centurion sought Jesus because he was a humble and honorable man who loved Israel. He loved the people of Israel and, therefore, had love for their God.
Jesus: "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" (Luke 23:46)Centurion: "Certainly this was a righteous man" (Luke 23:47)
Many believed in jesus Christ after the miracles, like the Roman centurion.
