When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned about, and said unto the people that followed him,
I say unto you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.
Read Chapter 7
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Our Lord does not speak of the patriarchs, but of the Israelites of his own time, with whose faith he compares and prefers that of the centurion, because they had the assistance of the law and of the prophets; but this man, without any such instruction, willingly believed. (Ven. Bede)
