the centurion.The centurion was a military captain, and commander of a century, or 100 men.
In order to have a proper notion of his office, it may be desirable to explain the construction and array of the Roman legion.
Each legion was divided into ten cohorts, each cohort into three maniples, and each maniple into two centuries; so that there were thirty maniples, and sixty centuries in a legion, which, if the century had always, as the word imports, consisted of 100 soldiers, would have formed a combined phalanx of 6,000 men.
The number in a legion, however, varied at different periods; in the time of Polybius it was 4,200.
The order of battle was that of three lines; the hastati, or spearmen, occupied the front; the principes, the second line; the {triarii,} (also called {pilani,} from their weapon, the {pilam,}) the third.
The centurions were appointed by the tribunes, and generally selected from the common soldiers according to their merit; although the office was sometimes obtained for money, or through the favour of the consuls.
Their badge was a vine rod, or sapling.
Mark 15:44• 44And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to him the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died. (Mark 15:44)
;
Matt. 8:5‑10• 5And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him,
 6and saying, Lord, my servant lies paralytic in the house, suffering grievously.
 7And Jesus says to him, *I* will come and heal him.
 8And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but only speak a word, and my servant shall be healed.
 9For *I* also am a man under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.
 10And when Jesus heard it, he wondered, and said to those who followed, Verily I say unto you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith. (Matt. 8:5‑10)
;
Acts 10:1• 1But a certain man in Caesarea,--by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic, (Acts 10:1)
;

• The Gentile centurion confesses, in the death of Jesus, the Person of the Son of God. Until then, the Messiah and Judaism went together. In His death Judaism rejects Him, and He is the Savior of the world. The veil no longer conceals God. (“Mark 15” by J.N. Darby)
• Jesus gave up His life with a cry that proved the existence of so much strength—that the Prince of life, the Son of God, was there. (“Mark 15” by J.N. Darby)
