Luke 7:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:7

Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee,
&c.] In person; therefore he sent the elders of the Jews to him first, and now some of his friends, who delivered these words in his name:

but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed;
speak but the word only, rebuke the distemper, command it off, and it will be gone; so great was his faith in the power of Christ.

Luke 7:7 In-Context

5 "for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue."

6 And Jesus went with them. And when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying unto Him, "Lord, trouble not Thyself, for I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof.

7 Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto Thee. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers. And I say unto one, `Go', and he goeth; and to another, `Come,' and he cometh; and to my servant, `Do this,' and he doeth it."

9 When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned about and said unto the people who followed Him, "I say unto you, I have not found so great a faith, no, not in Israel."
