From:
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Centurion
a
Roman
officer
in
command
of
a
hundred
men
(
Mark
15:39, 44,
45).
Cornelius
,
the
first
Gentile
convert
,
was
a
centurion
(
Acts
10:1, 22).
Other
centurions
are
mentioned
in
Matt
. 8:5, 8, 13;
Luke
7:2, 6;
Acts
21:32; 22:25, 26; 23:17, 23; 24:23; 27:1, 6,
11, 31, 43; 28:16.
A
centurion
watched
the
crucifixion
of
our
Lord
(
Matt
. 27:54;
Luke
23:47),
and
when
he
saw
the
wonders
attending
it
,
exclaimed
, "
Truly
this
man
was
the
Son
of
God
."
"
The
centurions
mentioned
in
the
New
Testament
are
uniformly
spoken
of
in
terms
of
praise
,
whether
in
the
Gospels
or
in
the
Acts
.
It
is
interesting
to
compare
this
with
the
statement
of
Polybius
(
vi
. 24),
that
the
centurions
were
chosen
by
merit
,
and
so
were
men
remarkable
not
so
much
for
their
daring
courage
as
for
their
deliberation
,
constancy
,
and
strength
of
mind
