Contextual Overview

¹ When Jesus finished saying all these things to the people, he went to Capernaum. ² There was an army officer who had a servant who was very important to him. The servant was so sick he was nearly dead. ³ When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him to ask Jesus to come and heal his servant. ⁴ The men went to Jesus and begged him, saying, "This officer is worthy of your help. ⁵ He loves our people, and he built us a synagogue." ⁶ So Jesus went with the men. He was getting near the officer's house when the officer sent friends to say, "Lord, don't trouble yourself, because I am not worthy to have you come into my house. ⁷ That is why I did not come to you myself. But you only need to command it, and my servant will be healed. ⁸ I, too, am a man under the authority of others, and I have soldiers under my command. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,' and he goes. I tell another soldier, ‘Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,' and my servant does it." ⁹ When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, "I tell you, this is the greatest faith I have found anywhere, even in Israel." ¹⁰ Those who had been sent to Jesus went back to the house where they found the servant in good health.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 likely, was a proselyte to their religion, as the following instance seems to show:

and he hath built us a synagogue; at his own private charge, and by the assistance of his soldiers under him, whom he might employ in this work: sometimes a single person built a synagogue at his own expense, and gave it to the citizens; of which the Jews say, o

"if a man builds an house, and afterwards devotes it to a synagogue, it is as a synagogue.''

o Piske Harosh Megilia, c. 4. art. 1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 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.
