Faith of the Centurion (Lk 7:6-8)
The Latin:
…misit ad eum centúrio amícos, dicens : Dómine, noli uexári : non enim sum dignus ut sub tectum meum intres : propter quod et meípsum non sum dignum arbitrátus ut uenírem ad te : sed dic uérbo, et sanábitur puer meus. Nam et ego homo sum sub potestáte constitútus, habens sub me mílites; et dico huic, Vade, et uádit; et álii, Veni, et úenit; et séruo meo, Fac hoc, et facit.
The English:
…the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof. For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee; but say the word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.
