Matthew 8:9

* 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 am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

Strong's King James
(9) Because I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes and to another, 'Come!' and he comes and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does."
The F.O.G*
[9] I understand authority - I take orders from my superiors and give orders to my soldiers. When I say 'Go,' they go; 'Come,' they come; 'Do this,' they do it. You have even greater authority over sickness and health."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for I also am a man 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.’
