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 marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. (Mark 15:44)
;
Matt. 8:5‑10• 5And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
 6And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
 7And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
 8The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
 9For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
 10When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. (Matt. 8:5‑10)
;
Acts 10:1• 1There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, (Acts 10:1)
;
Acts 27:1‑3,43• 1And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
 2And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
 3And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
 43But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: (Acts 27:1‑3,43)
he said.
Matt. 27:43,54• 43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
 54Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. (Matt. 27:43,54)
;
Luke 23:47‑48• 47Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
 48And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. (Luke 23:47‑48)
• 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 Saviour 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)
• At the same time, the Spirit of God could well give the centurion’s or the king’s {Nebuchadnezzar's} words a shape beyond what either knew. “Truly this Man was Son of God.” (“Mark 15” by W. Kelly)
