Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; He will never say that to you, or to me; but while he was here on earth, our Lord was very modest and retiring. He wished to conceal himself as much as possible. He did not strive, nor cry, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streets. He sets us an example of what true power is; for true power...

Beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him. He did not say, “I will come and see him”; that would have been kind — he did not say what you and I would say, “I will come and pray with him”; that is all we can do — but “I will come and heal him.” Here is the tenderness of man and the power of God.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. He did not further explain. It is a pity sometimes when we explain things to God in prayer, as I am afraid we often do, God knows what we mean. And so here he did not explain his meaning; we can see...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel. “Not in Israel,” — where the light and the knowledge were, there was not such faith as this centurion possessed.
