Faith That Amazed Jesus

Name Date

Read and Think

A Roman centurion was a soldier in charge of a hundred men. One in Capernaum had a servant he cared about who was dying. Jewish elders begged Jesus to help, saying the man loved their nation. But the centurion sent friends to say he was not worthy for Jesus to enter his home. He understood authority. He knew Jesus could simply give a command and it would be done. Jesus turned to the crowd and praised his great faith. The servant was healed.

In Nain, Jesus met a widow walking behind the body of her only son. Jesus had compassion on her. He touched the stretcher and raised the young man to life. The people said God had visited His people.

At a Pharisee's dinner, a sinful woman wept at Jesus' feet, wiped them with her hair, and anointed them with perfume. The Pharisee judged her. Jesus told a story about two people whose debts were forgiven. The one forgiven more loves more. Then Jesus told the woman her sins were forgiven and to go in peace.
