Again you missed the English future tense "SHALL COME" at the moment Matt was written Jesus was only for the Israel. he said and where do they sit in the Millennial kingdom. This is not a reference to the Body of Christ.
How can you miss the obvious future tense and make it at the moment when that is not what he is saying. you are changing the meaning to a private interpretation. Also, the Centurion is either a Jew or a convert to Judaism. the scriptures do not say he was a Gentile only that he had not seen such faith in Israel. the counter verse is in Luke and there too it does not say he was a gentile. now I could be wrong but again Jesus main purpose was to the house of Israel this does not mean he did not minister to Gentile there were probably many Gentiles who were ministered by him.
