Part 2 (1977)

Ernest Borgnine: The Centurion

Quotes 

• The Centurion : I'm sorry if I disturb you, Rabbi. But I would like to ask you a great favor. I have servant in my house. I've had him a long while, and he's good. Love him more like a son than a servant. He's very sick, dying I fear. Rabbi, in all humility...

  Jesus Christ : You would like me to come to your house. Very well, I will come with you.

  The Centurion : No. I am unworthy that you should enter unto my roof. I know that if you say the word, my servant will be healed. I am a man under authority, but I myself have authority over a hundred soldiers and if I say to one of them, do this, I know that he will do it and if I say to another go there I know that he will go. I need not see, I know. So it is enough that you give the word, and it will be done.

  Jesus Christ : Do you hear this man. I have seldom found such faith among the people of Israel. Go home, your faith has cured your servant.
