Healing the Centurion's servant

Healing the Centurion's servant is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels.Biblegateway Matthew 8:5-13 Biblegateway Luke 7:1-10 
The Gospels of Matthew (8:5-13) and Luke (7:1-10) narrate how Jesus healed the servant of a Roman Centurion in Capernaum. The Gospel of John (4:46-54) has a similar account at Capernaum, but states that it was the son of a royal official who was cured at a distance.Biblegateway John 4:46-54 
According to the Gospels, a Roman Centurion asked Jesus for help because his boy servant was ill. Jesus offered to go to the Centurion's house to perform the healing, but the Centurion suggested that Jesus perform the healing at a distance. When Jesus heard this, he said:
Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.
And the boy was healed at that very hour. 
Author John Clowes commented that the use of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob refers to the degree of blessedness by which people are admitted to the feast, in that Abraham signifies the celestial degree, Isac the spiritual and Jacob the natural degree.John Clowes, 1817 The Miracles of Jesus Christ published by J.
