Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 7:1-10

See Poole on "Matthew 8:5", and following verses to Matthew 8:13, where we have considered all the differences between Matthew’s and Luke’s relation of this miracle. We have in it remarkable, 1. The humanity of the centurion to his servant, to teach us Christians to do the like. 2. The profitableness of good works: the centurion’s love to the Jews in building them a synagogue gains their applications to Christ for him. 3. The humility of the centurion: he did not think himself worthy to appear... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 7:1-11

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 7:1. In the audience.—Lit. “in the ears of the people” (R.V.).Luke 7:2. Servant.—I.e. slave. Who was dear unto him.—Or, “who was in much esteem with him.” This is peculiar to St. Luke. Sick,—“Sick of the palsy, grievously tormented” (Matthew 8:6). Ready to die.—Rather, “at the point of death” (R.V.).Luke 7:3. He sent unto Him the elders of the Jews.—Omit “the” (R.V.). St. Matthew represents the centurion as coming to Jesus; the discrepancy may be accounted for on the... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Luke 7:6-7

DISCOURSE: 1499THE CENTURION’S SERVANT HEALEDLuke 7:6-7. 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: wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.NOTHING makes a wider breach among men than a difference in political and religious opinion: but mutual good offices... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 7:1-50

Let's turn now in our Bibles to Luke's gospel, chapter 7. At this point in Luke's gospel he is going to give us series of events, miracles that transpired in the life of Jesus.When he ended these sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. And when they came to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 7:1-50

Luke 7:2 . A certain centurion’s servant. As soon as this officer heard of Christ, he believed in him, having been assured of the miracles by competent witnesses. Being a gentile, he sent the rulers to Christ, to ask mercy on behalf of a favourite domestic. Luke 7:5 . He hath built us a synagogue. Works done for God are sure in the issue to receive a divine reward; and they who shelter his flock on earth shall find a sanctuary in his kingdom, provided that their piety be sincere. Luke... read more

Luke 7:1-10And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to dieThe centurion and his servantA Roman soldier, a stern, unbending man, accustomed to be obeyed absolutely; accustomed to oppress a downtrodden, conquered race, no one daring to raise a murmur; a heathen, too, a man whose religion was odious and contemptible, a man, therefore, without real power over his actions, the creature of caprice: such, at least by instinct and education, must the good centurion... read more
