Even Though He Said He Wasn't Worthy,

That is the faith that Jesus was able to give by grace.
After Jesus said He would come and heal the servant
The centurion said to Jesus "I am not worthy for you
to enter under my roof". Then he said to Jesus "Say
the word and he will be healed. Then Jesus spoke
to all and said He was amazed at the faith the of the
centurion. Then He added that no one in Israel had
such faith. They who had all the learning and all the
prayers and traditions yet Jesus said they had less
faith. Jesus knew that He had many of those following
Him and He said that so that they would understand
there was more to loving God than going through the
motions. At that point, He wasn't scolding anyone but
just trying to make them aware. It seems as though
they were there only to see if He was breaking rules
and traditions. They were not ready to hear the good
news that Jesus brought. Jesus was encouraging
awareness of God not the rote words and actions.

The centurions' faith is reminiscent of the faith of Abraham, himself..

Amen, reminds me of
Psalm 40: 6. Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
