ルカの福音書 7:7-8 JCB

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 7:6-10

The faith of the centurion: v. 6. Then Jesus went with them. And when He was now 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; v. 7. wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto Thee; but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. v. 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,... read more

3. The First Return to Capernaum. The First-fruits of the Believing Gentiles (Luke 7:1-10)(Parallel: Matthew 8:5-13.)1Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.2And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.3And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the [om., the] elders of the Jews,beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. 4And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly... read more

Luke WORTHY-NOT WORTHY Luk_7:4 , Luk_7:6 - Luk_7:7 . A Roman centurion, who could induce the elders of a Jewish village to approach Jesus on his behalf, must have been a remarkable person. The garrison which held down a turbulent people was not usually likely to be much loved by them. But this man, about whom the incident with which our texts are connected is related, was obviously one of the people of whom that restless age had many, who had found out that his creed was outworn, and who... read more

an Alien’s Surprising Faith Luke 7:1-10 It is interesting to find these wild flowers of natural faith, humility and love growing outside the carefully cultured garden of the Hebrew religion. God has never been without witnesses among the nations. We recall Cyrus in the Old Testament, Isaiah 45:1-7 ; and Cornelius in the New, Acts 10:1-8 . “In every nation.” See Acts 10:35 . But of course the propitiation of Christ underpins the salvation of all men, Romans 3:25 . Because the centurion was... read more

Here our Lord passed over the national boundary to bring blessing to the household of a Roman centurion. Of that man the elders said, "He is worthy." The man said, "I am not worthy." Jesus Said, "I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." It certainly is a wonderful story, showing that the principle of faith is supreme over all privileges of race and birth. Two crowds are seen meeting outside the city of Nain, one, the Master, His disciples, and a great multitude, approaching the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 7:4-9

THREE ESTIMATES OF CHARACTER‘He was worthy.… I am not worthy.… I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.’ Luke 7:4-1 Samuel : I. The elders’ estimate of the centurion.—The ‘elders of the Jews’ besought the Lord for this centurion, saying that ‘he was worthy for whom He should do this.’ The four Roman centurions mentioned in the New Testament are a great contrast to the Roman governors. The centurion in charge of the Crucifixion when he had seen it all said, ‘Truly this Man was the... read more

2). THE FOUNDING OF THE NEW ISRAEL UNDER THE KINGLY RULE OF GOD (6:20-8:18) In this second part of the section Luke 5:1 to Luke 9:50, Jesus now reveals Himself as the founder of the new Israel under the Kingly Rule of God: a He proclaims the new Law of the Kingly Rule of God (Luke 6:20-49). b He sends out His power to the Gentiles, to those who are seen as unclean, but who have believed. They too are to benefit from His Kingly Rule (Luke 7:1-10). c He raises the dead, a foretaste of the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:7

‘That is why I did not think myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.’ Indeed, he tells Jesus, that is why he had not come himself. He realised that he was only a Gentile and that he had no call on a Prophet of Israel. All therefore that he requested was that out of compassion Jesus would speak and heal his servant. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:8

‘For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers. And I say to this one, “Go”, and he goes; and to another, “Come”, and he comes; and to my servant, “Do this”, and he does it.’ He assured Jesus that he had no doubt that He could do this because he knew that He was a man who enjoyed the authority of God. So just as he himself could give orders and be obeyed, because he was a man under the rule of the powerful Caesar, and could act in his name, so he knew that Jesus could do... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:1-10

Luke 7:1-2 Samuel : . The Centurion’ s Servant ( Matthew 8:5-1 Chronicles : *).— Lk.’ s version is peculiar through the introduction of two sets of intermediaries— Jewish elders and friends. Thus he keeps the Gentile centurion himself (as well as his servant) from contact with Jesus, and is satisfied with recording the esteem in which the pagan soldier (like Cornelius, Acts 10) was held, and the extension of Jesus’ beneficence and His appreciation of faith beyond Jewry. read more
