The role of a centurion was crucial in maintaining discipline and order within the Roman military structure. Centurions were known for their leadership skills, bravery, and ability to enforce Roman law and order.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b>The Centurion of Capernaum</b>: One of the most notable centurions mentioned in the New Testament is the centurion of Capernaum, who approached Jesus seeking healing for his servant. This account is found in <a href="/matthew/8-5.htm">Matthew 8:5-13</a> and <a href="/luke/7.htm">Luke 7:1-10</a>. The centurion demonstrated remarkable faith, acknowledging Jesus' authority by saying, "Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed" (<a href="/matthew/8-8.htm">Matthew 8:8</a>). Jesus commended his faith, saying, "Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith" (<a href="/matthew/8-10.htm">Matthew 8:10</a>).<br><br>2. <b>The Centurion at the Crucifixion</b>: Another centurion is mentioned at the crucifixion of Jesus. This centurion witnessed the events surrounding Jesus' death and declared, "Truly this was the Son of God!" (<a href="/matthew/27-54.htm">Matthew 27:54</a>). His acknowledgment of Jesus' divine nature highlights the impact of the crucifixion on those present, including Roman soldiers.<br><br>3. <b>Cornelius, the Centurion</b>: Cornelius is a centurion mentioned in <a href="/bsb/acts/10.htm">Acts 10</a>. He is described as a devout man who feared God, gave generously to the poor, and prayed regularly. Cornelius received a vision instructing him to send for the Apostle Peter. This encounter led to Peter's realization that the Gospel was for Gentiles as well as Jews. <a href="/acts/10-34.htm">Acts 10:34-35</a> records Peter's words: "I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right" .<br><br>4. <b>The Centurion Who Saved Paul</b>: In <a href="/bsb/acts/27.htm">Acts 27</a>, a centurion named Julius is responsible for escorting Paul to Rome. During a perilous sea voyage, Julius showed kindness to Paul and ultimately saved his life when the soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent their escape. <a href="/acts/27-43.htm">Acts 27:43</a> states, "But the centurion, wanting to spare Paul&#8217;s life, kept them from carrying out their plan" .<br><br><b>Role and Characteristics:</b><br><br>Centurions were often chosen for their experience and leadership abilities. They were expected to be men of valor, capable of maintaining discipline among their troops. The New Testament portrays centurions as individuals of integrity and faith, often open to the message of the Gospel. Their interactions with Jesus and the apostles demonstrate a recognition of divine authority and a willingness to act justly.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>In the Roman military hierarchy, centurions held significant authority and were responsible for training and leading their men in battle. They were often seen as the backbone of the Roman legions, ensuring the effectiveness and discipline of the army. The presence of centurions in the New Testament reflects the Roman occupation of Judea and the broader context of Roman influence in the region.<br><br>The accounts of centurions in the Bible provide insight into the interactions between Roman authority and the early Christian movement. These narratives highlight the universality of the Gospel message and the transformative power of faith, transcending cultural and national boundaries.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A Roman officer in command of a hundred men (<a href="/mark/15-39.htm">Mark 15:39</a>, 44, 45). Cornelius, the first Gentile convert, was a centurion (<a href="/acts/10-1.htm">Acts 10:1</a>, 22).

"The centurions mentioned in the New Testament are uniformly spoken of in terms of praise, whether in the Gospels or in the Acts. It is interesting to compare this with the statement of Polybius (vi. 24), that the centurions were chosen by merit, and so were men remarkable not so much for their daring courage as for their deliberation, constancy, and strength of mind.", Dr. Maclear's N.

Matthew and Luke use the Greek word while Mark prefers the Latin form, as he does in the case of other words, seeing that he wrote primarily for Roman readers. The number of centurions in a legion was 60, that being at all epochs the number of centuries, although the number varied in the cohort or speira. The ordinary duties of the centurion were to drill his men, inspect their arms, food and clothing, and to command them in the camp and in the field. Centurions were sometimes employed on detached service the conditions of which in the provinces are somewhat obscure. Men like Cornelius and Julius (<a href="/acts/10-1.htm">Acts 10:1</a>; <a href="/acts/27-1.htm">Acts 27:1</a>) may have been separated from the legion to which they properly belonged for the discharge of special duties. They and other centurions mentioned in the Gospels and the Acts (<a href="/matthew/8-5.htm">Matthew 8:5</a> <a href="/mark/15-39.htm">Mark 15:39, 44, 45</a> <a href="/luke/23-47.htm">Luke 23:47</a>) are represented by the sacred writers in a favorable light.<br><br>See <a href="../a/augustan.htm">AUGUSTAN BAND</a>.<br><br>T.
