Hekatontarchos identifies a man who approaches Jesus, speaks of his household, or keeps watch at Jesus' death.

The attested use identifies a male figure in two scenes: he approaches and addresses Jesus concerning his child in Matthew 8:5 and Matthew 8:8, and he is among those keeping watch over Jesus in Matthew 27:54.

   In Matthew 8:5 and Matthew 8:8, the nominative singular masculine form identifies the man who comes near to Jesus and then answers him about his child. In Matthew 27:54, the same form identifies the man keeping watch over Jesus who sees the earthquake and what took place; the APB renders the verse's response, "Truly this was the Son of God."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Matthew 8:5, Matthew 8:8, and Matthew 27:54, the APB presents the figure as "a centurion" or "the centurion." These renderings confirm the verse-level presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the Greek term.
