In the Gospel of Matthew, no name is given for the Roman centurion who asked Jesus to heal his servant.
Matthew 8:5–13 introduces the man simply as a centurion. He approaches Jesus in Capernaum and says that his servant is suffering, but he considers himself unworthy to have Jesus enter his home. Instead, he expresses confidence that Jesus can heal the servant with a command. Jesus praises this faith and the servant is healed.
The account is often compared with Luke 7:1–10, where Jewish elders and friends act as intermediaries in the request. Neither Gospel names the centurion. A later New Testament figure, Cornelius, is also a centurion, but he appears in Acts and is not the same character identified in Matthew’s healing story.
This is a useful distinction because popular retellings sometimes attach names to unnamed biblical characters. The canonical passage supplies a military rank, location, and action, but no personal name.
