* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.
For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

Strong's King James
(8) For I also am a man designated by authority, having soldiers under myself and I say to this, 'Go!' and he goes and to another, 'Come!' and he arrives and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does."
The F.O.G*
[8] I understand authority because I live under it and exercise it. I tell one soldier 'Go,' and he goes; another 'Come,' and he comes. I command my servant 'Do this,' and he does it. I know You have even greater authority over sickness and health."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.’
