Excerpt from The CenturionThe character of this man is testified to of Christ as very remarkable He was a Gentile, a Roman officer, who had command over the tr00ps stationed at Capernaum, as a garrison for that subjugated Jewish town Though a soldier, he was an eminently godly man though not a follower of Chr st, as he knew nothing of christianity. As a heathen and a Roman soldier, we might expect that his prejudices were great both against the religion of the Jews and the people over whom he ruled. But we find that the Elders of the Jews reported him as worthy of a visit from Christ, inasmuch as he had expressed great regard for the people with whom, in the providence of God, his lot was cast and had actually, out of his own private funds built them a Synagogue.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
