Jesus heals a Roman centurian's servant but not after the centurian shows great faith

Luke

7:1   NOW when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
7:2   And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
7:3   And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
7:4   And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
7:5   For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
7:6   Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7:7   Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
7:8   For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
7:9   When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
7:10   And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

Matthew

8:5   And when Jesus was entered into Ca-per-na-um, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
8:6   And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
8:7   And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8:8   The 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.
8:9   For 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.
8:10   When 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.
8:11   And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
8:12   But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
8:13   And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou has believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
