MATTHEW—NOTE ON Matthew 8:5 centurion. A Roman officer in charge of a hundred men. In the account of this miracle in Luke 7:1, others came to Jesus on the centurion’s behalf, but Matthew does not mention them. As is often the case, Matthew shortens the story. He reports what the centurion said through his messengers (see note on John 3:17).
