When Jesus heard these things,.... Which the friends of the centurion related from him, and in his name; or which he himself delivered, coming up to Christ after them: he marvelled at him; at his great humility and modesty, and the strength of his faith, and his manner of reasoning: and turned him about; from him, and his friends: and said unto the people that followed him; from the mount to Capernaum, and as he was passing along the streets: I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel; or "among the Israelites", as the Syriac; or "among the children of Israel", as the Persic; or "in all Israel", as the Arabic version reads, as he did in this single Gentile; See Gill on Mat 8:10.
