Matthew 8:9-12 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁹For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

          10When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
          11I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
          12But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
