SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:9
Lo cual oyendo Jess, se maravill de l, y vuelto, dijo a las personas que le seguían: Os digo que ni aun en Israel he hallado tanta fe.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. When Jesus heard these things , etc.] Which the friends of the centurion related from him, and in his name; or which he himself delivered, coming up to Christ after them: he marvelled at him ; at his great humility and modesty, and the strength of his faith, and his manner of reasoning: and turned him about ; from him, and his friends: and said unto the people that followed him ; from the mount to Capernaum, and as he was passing along the streets: I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel ; or among the Israelites, as the Syriac; or among the children of Israel, as the Persic; or in all Israel, as the Arabic version reads, as he did in this single Gentile; (See Gill on Matthew 8:10).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - Servants should study to endear themselves to their masters. Master ought to take particular care of their servants when they are sick. We may still, by faithful and fervent prayer, apply to Christ, and ough to do so when sickness is in our families. The building places for religious worship is a good work, and an instance of love to God an his people. Our Lord Jesus was pleased with the centurion's faith; an he never fails to answer the expectations of that faith which honour his power and love. The cure soon wrought and perfect.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
7:9 {Turned} (strafeis). Second aorist passive participle of strefw, to turn. Common verb. A vivid touch not in Matthew's account. In both Matthew and Luke Jesus marvels at the great faith of this Roman centurion beyond that among the Jews. As a military man he had learned how to receive orders and to execute them and hence to expect obedience to his commands, He recognized Jesus as Master over disease with power to compel obedience.
