Matthew 8:10
The story of the Roman centurion, Marcus, is a powerful example of faith and humility. Despite his high status, Marcus seeks out Jesus to heal his beloved servant, Tiro. Acknowledging Jesus' authority, Marcus believes that Jesus can heal Tiro with just a word, without needing to visit his home. Jesus is astonished by Marcus' faith, stating that such faith has not been found even in Israel. Moved by this faith, Jesus heals Tiro from a distance. This story demonstrates the transformative power of faith and the importance of humility in approaching God.
