Matthew 8:5

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Matthew 8:5. And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion,

There came, doubtless, a great number of people when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, but Matthew does not mention them; yet he does say, "There came unto him a centurion." Notice how these individuals are brought out by the Scriptural narrative-"a leper"-"a centurion." May there not also be some here who will come to Jesus, and prove in their own persons, or in the persons of others for whom they shall pray, his power to bless and save? The Lord grant it!
