The centurion's understanding of authority and his belief in Jesus' power to command healing without physical presence is significant. It highlights the centurion's insight into Jesus' divine authority, which was uncommon even among the Jewish people.He marveled Jesus' reaction of marveling is noteworthy because it is rare for Him to be described as amazed. This indicates the extraordinary nature of the centurion's faith. In the Gospels, Jesus is often the one who amazes others with His teachings and miracles, but here, the faith of a Gentile centurion amazes Him, underscoring the depth and sincerity of the centurion's belief.and said to those following Him Jesus addresses His followers, which likely included His disciples and the crowd that often accompanied Him. This public declaration serves as a teaching moment, emphasizing the importance of faith. It also contrasts the centurion's faith with the often-lacking faith of the Jewish people, including His own disciples at times.Truly I tell you This phrase is a solemn affirmation, often used by Jesus to introduce a significant truth. It underscores the importance of what He is about to say, drawing attention to the lesson He wants His followers to learn from the centurion's example.I have not found anyone in Israel Jesus' statement highlights the unexpected nature of the centurion's faith, especially since he is a Gentile. Israel, God's chosen people, had the Law and the Prophets, yet Jesus had not encountered such faith among them. This serves as a critique of the spiritual state of Israel and a reminder of the openness of God's kingdom to all who believe.with such great faith The centurion's faith is described as "great," indicating its exceptional quality. This faith is characterized by trust in Jesus' authority and power, without the need for physical evidence or presence.

Facts came to Him, in that true humanity, as to other men, unlooked-for, and as with a novelty that caused surprise.I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.--The nature of the faith we have already seen. Israelites who sought our Lord's healing work, craved for presence, or touch, even if it were only the hem of the garment; sometimes, as in the case of the blind, and dumb, and deaf, for yet more material signs. Here was one who believed in the power of the word of the Christ, and asked for nothing more.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/8.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - When (Revised Version, add when) Jesus heard it, he marvelled. Contrast "and he marvelled because of their unbelief" (<a href="/mark/6-6.htm">Mark 6:6</a>). We read in <a href="/john/2-24.htm">John 2:24, 25</a>, "But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men, and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man." Yet here our Lord marvels at the character of the centurion. How can we reconcile these two statements? As yet not fully, for the question takes us to the centre of our Lord's personality. But we must remember: (1) That Augustine's solution - Christ did not so much actually wonder, as commend to us that which was worthy of our admiration - "brings an unreality into parts of our Lord's conduct, as though he did some things for show and the effect which they would have on others, instead of all his actions having their deepest root in his own nature, being the truthful exponents of his own inmost being" (Trench). (2) That St. John was referring, as it seems, to persons with whom our Lord was brought into contact, while here the centurion is probably absent (vide supra). Our Lord's powers of perception (ἐγίνωσκεν, John) have here had no opportunity of action. (3) That, in any case, even our Lord's mental powers did not act in any unnatural method. In his grasping the true character of each man's mind, the same processes (however rapid in his case) must have taken place as take place in men generally, and among these processes is wonder at some fresh trait. . . . <a href="/commentaries/matthew/8-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>When δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. Jesus Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2424.htm">Strong's 2424: </a> Of Hebrew origin; Jesus, the name of our Lord and two other Israelites. heard [this], Ἀκούσας (Akousas) Verb - Aorist Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_191.htm">Strong's 191: </a> To hear, listen, comprehend by hearing; pass: is heard, reported.
