Luke has the men return to find the servant healed while Matthew has Jesus performing the miracle itself. The verses are different enough that Davies and Allison believe there is no way to reconstruct what the original ending to the Centurion story would have been in Q.

Jesus healing the servant of a Centurion, by the Venetian artist Paolo Veronese, 16th century. Healing the centurion's servant is one of the miracles performed by Jesus of Nazareth as related in the Gospel of Matthew [1] and the Gospel of Luke [2] (both part of the Christian biblical canon).

The New International Version translates the passage as: The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof.
Matthew 8:12 is the twelfth verse of the eighth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. This verse is part of the conclusion to the miracle story of healing the centurion's servant, the second of a series of miracles in Matthew.

A similar story to this occurs in Luke 7. An important difference between the accounts is that Matthew uses παις as opposed to Luke's mix of both παις and δουλος. δουλος can mean either servant or slave, while παις can mean either servant or son. It is the same word used for children in Matthew 2:16. [1]
