• The centurion assumes the grand truth that Jesus was God (not merely Messiah), and therefore full of ability to heal. In short, he looks at Him in a still higher way, not as one whose presence must be connected with the putting forth of power, but as one who had only to speak the word, and it was done. This brings in the character of the word of God, and the absence of Jesus from those who now profit by His grace. Such is our position. Jesus is away and unseen. We hear His word, lay hold of it, and are saved. (“Remarks on Matthew 8” by W. Kelly)
