Jesus healing the servant of a Centurion, by the Venetian artist Paolo Veronese, 16th century. Healing the centurion's servant is one of the miracles performed by Jesus of Nazareth as related in the Gospel of Matthew [1] and the Gospel of Luke [2] (both part of the Christian biblical canon). The story is not recounted in the Gospels of either ...
Christ and the Woman from Canaan by Pieter Lastman, 1617, Rijksmuseum. Charles Ellicott contrasts this miracle with the miraculous healing of the centurion's servant in Matthew 8:10. According to Ellicott, whilst both miracles showed Jesus's willingness to help gentiles, Jesus had a more favorable view of the centurion.
Luke has the servant near death from an unspecified malady. In Mark's Gospel the cleansing of the leper is immediately followed by the healing the paralytic at Capernaum, and the author of Matthew may attach the illness from the later to this narrative.

The canvasses were all executed between 1496–1501.

Some, like the ESV, translate it as a declaration that Jesus will go and heal the servant. Others, like the NIV, have Jesus questioning whether he should come and help.
The alternative is that as the Centurion's power derives from his place in the military ranks so do does Jesus power derive from place in the spiritual hierarchy. The opening of the verse can be translated as "I too am a man under authority" making that parallel between the Jesus and the Centurion more explicit. [2]
