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 story is not recounted in the Gospels of either ...
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. [1] The healing used similar language as Matthew 8:3 and Matthew 9:6. [2]

Many of the miracles of Jesus, such as the changing of water into wine at the wedding at Cana, the transfiguration, and the calming of the storm, are not shown, although Jesus's healing of Jairus's daughter, healing the centurion's servant, the blind man and the crippled woman on the Sabbath, the feeding of the multitude, and the raising of ...
This verse does not appear as part of the Centurion's miracle story in Luke 7. There is a similar passage in Luke 13:28-29 and it is possible the author of Matthew repurposed content from that section to add here. Keener sees strong evidence that this is an authentic saying of Jesus as it contains Semitic expressions not found in Greek. [1]
