This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of The Faith of a Roman Officer. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Matthew 8:5-13. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Jesus. Who is the Son of God and the Savior of the World. Jesus did many amazing things. He taught everyone about God’s love, healed people from their sickness, and even calmed storms! 

Jesus was in Capernaum when a Roman officer came to him and asked for his help. The Roman officer’s servant was paralyzed and was lying in bed with terrible pain. Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.”

But the Roman officer said that he wasn’t worthy to have Jesus come to his house and knew that if Jesus just said the word from where he was, that his servant would be healed. When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Jesus turned to his followers and said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!” 

Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.
