Luke 7:1 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:1

Now when he had ended all his sayings
That is, when Jesus, as the Persic version expresses it, had finished all the above sayings, doctrines, and instructions; not all that he had to say, for he said many things after this:

in the audience of the people;
of the common people, the multitude besides the disciples; and that openly, and publicly, and with a loud and clear voice, that all might hear:

he entered into Capernaum;
Jesus entered, as the Syriac version reads, into his own city, and where he had been before, and wrought miracles.

2 A centurion had a servant who was very important to him, but the servant was ill and about to die.

3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to Jesus to ask him to come and heal his servant.

4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly pleaded with Jesus. "He deserves to have you do this for him," they said.

5 "He loves our people and he built our synagogue for us."
