路加福音 7:1-5 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 7:1-10

Some difference there is between this story of the cure of the centurion's servant as it is related here and as we had it in Matt. 8:5 There it was said that the centurion came to Christ; here it is said that he sent to him first some of the elders of the Jews (Luke 7:3), and afterwards some other friends, Luke 7:6. But it is a rule that we are said to do that which we do by another?Quod facimus per alium, id ipsum facere judicamur. The centurion might be said to do that which he did by his... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 7:1-10

7:1-10 When Jesus had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum. The servant of a certain centurion was so ill that he was going to die, and he was very dear to him. When he heard about Jesus he sent some Jewish elders to him and asked him to come and save his servant's life. They came to Jesus and strenuously urged him to come. "He is," they said, "a man who deserves that you should do this for him, for he loves our nation and has himself built us our... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 7:2

And a certain centurion's servant ,.... The same that Matthew makes mention of, Matthew 8:5 ; see Gill on Matthew 8:5 . See Gill on Matthew 8:6 . who was dear unto him ; to the centurion, being an honest, upright, faithful, and obliging servant; as Tabi was to Rabban Gamaliel, of whom his master said F12 T. Bab. Beracot, fol. 16. 2. , "Tabi my servant, is not as other servants, כשר היה , "he is upright".' was sick : of a palsy; see Matthew 8:6 , and ready to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 7:3

And when he heard of Jesus ,.... That he was come, as the Ethiopic version adds, into the city of Capernaum; or of his miracles, which he had done there, and elsewhere: he sent unto him the elders of the Jews : in whom he had an interest, judging himself, being a Gentile, very unworthy and unfit to go himself, and ask a favour of so great a person as Christ was, such was his modesty and humility. These elders he sent, were not the more ancient inhabitants of the city, called זקני עם ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 7:4

And when they came to Jesus ,.... To that part of the city where he was; either at Peter's house, where he used to be when in this place; or rather it might be as he was passing along the streets, that they came up to him they besought him instantly ; or with great vehemence and importunity; very studiously and carefully they urged the case, and pressed him much to it: saying, he was worthy for whom he should do this ; or, "for whom thou shouldst do this", as the Vulgate Latin,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 7:5

For he loveth our nation ,.... The Jewish nation, which was Christ's nation, as well as theirs, he being a Jew; see John 18:35 . This they mention as an argument to induce him to have a regard to the centurion, though he was a Gentile; since he was a friend of the Jews, and well affected and disposed to them, which was very rare: it was not common for the Gentiles to love the Jews, any more than the Jews the Gentiles; there was an hatred, yea, an enmity between them; but this man, very... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:3

Elders of the Jews - These were either magistrates in the place, or the elders of the synagogue which the centurion had built, Luke 7:5 . He sent these, probably, because he was afraid to come to Christ himself, not being a Jew, either by nation or religion. In the parallel place in Matthew, he is represented as coming to Christ himself; but it is a usual form of speech in all nations, to attribute the act to a person which is done not by himself, but by his authority. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:5

He loveth our nation - He is a warm friend to the Jews; and has given a full proof of his affection to them in building them a synagogue. This he had done at his own proper charges; having no doubt employed his own men in the work. read more
