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 had finished saying all this to the people, he returned to Capernaum.
2 At that time the highly valued slave of a Roman officer was sick and near death.
3 When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some respected Jewish elders to ask him to come and heal his slave.
4 So they earnestly begged Jesus to help the man. “If anyone deserves your help, he does,” they said,
5 “for he loves the Jewish people and even built a synagogue for us.”
