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.

Luke 7:1 In-Context

1 When Jesus finished saying all these things to the people, he went to Capernaum.

2 There was an army officer who had a servant who was very important to him. The servant was so sick he was nearly dead.

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

4 The men went to Jesus and begged him, saying, "This officer is worthy of your help.

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