In the New Testament, Jesus marveled when a Roman centurion (an officer in charge of one hundred soldiers) approached Him. The centurion’s response to Jesus indicated his clear understanding of authority, as well as his faith in Jesus (Matthew 8:5-13).
Sa Bagong Tipan, hinangaan ni Hesus ang isang senturyong Romano (isang pinuno ng may isandaang sundalo) sa tugon at sa malinaw na pagkilala nito sa Kanyang kapangyarihan maging sa pananampalataya nito sa Kanya (Mateo 8:5-13).
