In our scripture, we hear of a request from a centurion, a commander of 100 men, who tells Jesus that he is not worthy to receive help from him but makes his request anyway. The centurion asked that Jesus heal his servant/slave who is in distress. Jesus commends the centurion for his faith, saying that he has never seen such faith in all of Israel. This is certainly an indication that the mission and ministry of Jesus was for the entire world and for all people.
