Luke 7:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:9

When Jesus heard these things
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).

Luke 7:9 In-Context

7 this is why I didn't presume to approach you myself. Instead, just give a command and let my servant recover.

8 For I too am a man set under authority. I have soldiers under me; and I say to this one, `Go!' and he goes; and to another, `Come!' and he comes; and to my slave, `Do this!' and he does it."

9 Yeshua was astonished at him when he heard this; and he turned and said to the crowd following him, "I tell you, not even in Isra'el have I found such trust!"

10 When the messengers got back to the officer's house, they found the servant in good health.

11 The next day Yeshua, accompanied by his talmidim and a large crowd, went to a town called Na`im.
