Cultural Views of the Beginning It can be interesting to learn about how other cultures view the beginning of the world. For instance, Genesis tells the story of how God created the world from nothing and decided to create man in the image of himself.

A Textual Analysis of The Gospel of Matthew Chapter Eight Verses Five to Thirteen: Jesus Heals a Centurions Servant The following is a textual analysis of the story of Jesus healing a centurions servant, which can be found in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter Eight verses Five to Thirteen. For the purpose of this textual analysis, along with many books, journals and online resources, the following four Bible translations have been consulted: King James Version (KJV) Amplified Version (AMP) Updated New American Standard Bible (NASB) New Revised Standard Version with the Apocrypha (NSRV) ⁵When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, appealing to him ⁶and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible distress.” ⁷And he said to him, “I will come and cure him.” ⁸The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and the slave does it.” ¹⁰When Jesus heard him, he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “Truly I tell you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. ¹¹I tell you, many will come from east and west and will eat with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, ¹²while the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” ¹³And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you according to your faith.”[1] Having read the NRSV version of this text, the following is my translation.
