ακουσας δε ο ιησους εθαυμασεν και ειπεν τοις ακολουθουσιν αμην λεγω υμιν ουδε εν τω ισραηλ τοσαυτην πιστιν ευρον
hearing but the jesus marveled and told the following-crowd amen I-tell you never in the Israel such-as-this faith I-have-found
Hearing this, Jesus marveled and told the people following him, "I tell you the truth, I have never found such faith as this in Israel."
Mat 8:10 ακουσας δε ο ιησους εθαυμασεν και ειπεν τοις ακολουθουσιν αμην λεγω υμιν παρ ουδενι τοσαυτην πιστιν εν τω ισραηλ ευρον
And hearing, Jesus, he wondered, and he said to those following, Indeed I say to you, from no one person such as this kind, to be found in Israel.

Let's talk about the phrase "τη βασιλεια των ουρανων", "the kingdom the heaven".
In Sidgwick's A First Greek Writer, Sidgwick says
In English we say "the bad man;" and if we wish to translate this into greek, the point to observe is that the adjective must have the article. . .thus we may say either 'o kakos aner or 'o aner 'o kakos (Sidgwick uses the greek letters, which I've transliterated); but in either case the Adjective must have the article.
When I translated τη βασιλεια των ουρανων, I used this rule, and so I translated it making "heaven" an adjective describing kingdom. "the kingdom the heaven" doesn't make any sense in english, and the kingdom of heaven doesn't seem to me to be what Matthew is saying. However, I just thought of something, I am mistaking the case for ouranon, making it Nomative, which is not what Matthew wrote. I think I mistranslated due to the grammar. I still don't like the word "of" in the translation. What do you think? I know I'm wrong, but I can't think of the right way to express this phrase.
