This man's confidence in Jesus' powers-to heal even from a distance-amazed Jesus. At the same time, he was greatly moved by the man's humility.

How many times did Jesus pray Before doing a miracle?

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.


How many times is Jesus amazed in the bible?

It was not so much Jesus as his disciples and all the people that were amazed. There is only one reference that I can find at Jesus being amazed: And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; (Mark 14.33) Although Jesus did marvel, which is akin to being amazed, first at the unbelief of the people of Nazareth, (Mark 6.6), and then at some people of great faith: When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel (Matthew 8.10)


What does the bible say is truth?

"I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by Me." Jesus said these words in John 6:14, so Jesus is the truth.


What did people do when they saw Jesus being baptized?

I personally could find no record of the crowds reaction to Jesus' baptism in the four Gospels. It is stated however in at least three of the Gospels that the Heavens opened up when he was baptized so one could safely assume that the surrounding crowd of people were fairly amazed to say the least.


What did Jesus say after john baptized him?

Jesus said nothing after he was baptized by John. Before it was done, John said, "I should be baptized by you," and according to Matthew 3:15, Jesus then replied, "Let it be so now; it is right for us to do this to fulfil all righteousness." After the event, God's voice came from Heaven, saying "This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased."

What amazed Jesus about the 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.

Why did the centurion go to Jesus?

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.


What is significant about the centurion's proclamation when Jesus died?

A:The centurion is said to have exclaimed, "Truly this man was the Son of God," although perhaps sarcastically, when Jesus died (Mark 15:39). In Mark's Gospel, Jesus referred to himself as the Son of Man, and Peter called him the Christ ('anointed one'). To have called Jesus the Son of God might have been considered blasphemous when Mark was written, but the demons and the centurion, as outsiders, could call do so because their statements would not bring the Christian community into disrepute. Perhaps fifteen years later, Matthew's Gospel could use the term Son of God quite freely and sarcasm was no longer evident in the centurion's statement.


What Roman at the cross acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God?

Mark 15:39And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and[d] saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son[e] of God!" The Roman at the cross was a Centurion, a Roman soldier. Because he is specifically called a centurion, he was more likely a higher rankiong official in the Roman army, and had command of a group of 100 soldiers. He is also mentioned in Matthew 27:54 - When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son[e] of God!" , Luke 23:47 - The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, "Surely this was a righteous man.", and indirectly in John 19:34-35 34Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. Of His own followers, the only people who were able to recognize that Jesus truly was the Son of God were Peter and Martha.

What is Roman centrion?

A Roman centurion was a military officer. There were eleven grades or ranks of centurion so the title "centurion" covered a lot of officers. Incidentally, a centurion of the lowest rank commanded a "century" of 80 men, not the 100 men that is erroneously thought to have made up the century.A Roman centurion was a military officer.

Who was the first who was not a Jew to receive a miracle by Jesus?

Of the people whom Jesus performs miracles on or for, possibly the first is also the most famous, that is, the nameless centurion in Matthew 8. It's very possible that Jesus healed other people who weren't Jews, especially given the proclamation in John 21:25 that Jesus did so many things, it would be impossible to record them in a few short books.The reason that the centurion's miracle is one of the first we learn about is probably because the gospel author thinks its important (Matt8:5-13). There are two main reasons why: first, the centurion is not just any gentile but a very important one. The Romans were occupying Jerusalem, and the Jewish people were very resentful about having the Romans trampling all over their homeland, so for an important Roman to ask for help from a Jew would have shown he really did have a lot of faith that Jesus could help him. We notice that this centurion already has a deep conviction that Jesus is something special, because he wastes no time asking Jesus questions about who He is or how He can do all these miracles.We also notice that the centurion is asking for healing not for a son or daughter, or even for an important soldier under his command, but for a servant. It was common for important Romans to have servants, but it would not have been that common for an important man to care so much what happened to a sick servant.This passage is usually viewed as "famous" for the amazing faith the centurion shows, because when Jesus says "Shall I come heal your servant?" the centurion basically says that he is not even worthy to have Jesus come under his roof. Keep in mind the fact that, if he had wanted to, this centurion could easily have said "I command you to come to my house," to almost any Jew he wanted and they would have been forced to obey. But not only does he give Jesus recognition as being more worthy, he says that, just as he tells a soldier "go here or do this" and it's as good as done, Jesus is so powerful that He can say anything He wants and it will come true.So Jesus is amazed by the faith of this gentile and He praises the faith of the man, but the most important piece of the passage may be where Jesus says that "...many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob... But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."This is probably the first time that we see a glimpse into God's plan for Jesus to offer salvation to all people, not the Jews alone. Jesus doesn't just praise the centurion's faith and then let the moment pass, but instead seizes it as an opportunity to teach and He gives a glimpse into the future: one day when all the Jews come to eat at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (the most important figures in Hebrew history) some of them will find themselves thrown out and people with faith, like the centurion, will find themselves welcomed in. This miracle was the beginning of a wake up call for the Jews who would have been beyond shocked to imagine a centurion, or any gentile, taking a seat in paradise with the greatest Hebrew patriarchs in history.
