Contextual Overview

⁵ When Jesus entered the city of Capernaum, an army officer came to him, begging for help. ⁶ The officer said, "Lord, my servant is at home in bed. He can't move his body and is in much pain." ⁷ Jesus said to the officer, "I will go and heal him." ⁸ The officer answered, "Lord, I am not worthy for you to come into my house. You only need to command it, and my servant will be healed. ⁹ 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. ¹⁰ When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to those who were following him, "I tell you the truth, this is the greatest faith I have found, even in Israel. ¹¹ Many people will come from the east and from the west and will sit and eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. ¹² But those people who should be in the kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain." ¹³ Then Jesus said to the officer, "Go home. Your servant will be healed just as you believed he would." And his servant was healed that same hour.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum,.... Was returned from his journey through Galilee, to the place where he before dwelt, and is called his own city, Matthew 9:1

there came unto him a centurion, a Roman officer, שר מאה, "a commander of an hundred men", as the Hebrew Gospel by Munster reads it: though the number of men under a "centurion" was more, according to some accounts.

"A band (it is said g) made two centuries, each of which consisted of an hundred and twenty eight soldiers; for a doubled century made a band, whose governor was called an ordinary "centurion".''

Such an one was Cornelius, a centurion of a band, Acts 10:1. The other person that was healed was a Jew. The next instance of Christ's power and goodness is the servant of a Gentile; he came to do good both to Jews and Gentiles;

beseeching him, not in person, but by his messengers; see Luke 7:3 and the Jews h say, ששלוחו של אדם כמותו, "that a man's messenger is as himself".

g Alex. ab Alex. Genial. Dier. l. 6. c. 13. h T. Bab. Beracot, fol. 34. 2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Capernaum - See the notes at Matthew 4:13.

There came unto him a centurion - A centurion was the commander of 100 men in the Roman armies. Judea was a Roman province, and garrisons were kept there to preserve the people in subjection. This man was probably by birth a pagan. See Matthew 8:10.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
