Luke 7:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:10

And they that were sent
Both the elders of the Jews, and the friends of the centurion:

returning to the house;
of the centurion, where his servant lay, and from whence they came:

found the servant whole that had been sick;
for he was healed directly, as soon as the centurion had expressed his faith, and Christ had declared that it should be according to it, ( Matthew 8:13 ) .

Luke 7:10 In-Context

8 For I also am a man placed under authority, who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another one, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does [it]."

9 And [when] Jesus heard these [things], he marveled at him, and turning around to the crowd that was following him, he said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!"

11 And it happened that on the next [day] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.

12 And as he approached the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, his mother's only son, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
