Contextual Overview
1 After Jesus had finished teaching the people, he went to Capernaum. 2 In that town an army officer's servant was sick and about to die. The officer liked this servant very much. 3 And when he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish leaders to ask him to come and heal the servant. 4 The leaders went to Jesus and begged him to do something. They said, "This man deserves your help! 5 He loves our nation and even built us a meeting place." 6 So Jesus went with them. When Jesus wasn't far from the house, the officer sent some friends to tell him, "Lord, don't go to any trouble for me! I am not good enough for you to come into my house. 7 And I am certainly not worthy to come to you. Just say the word, and my servant will get well. 8 I have officers who give orders to me, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I can say to one of them, ‘Go!' and he goes. I can say to another, ‘Come!' and he comes. I can say to my servant, ‘Do this!' and he will do it." 9 When Jesus heard this, he was so surprised that he turned and said to the crowd following him, "In all of Israel I've never found anyone with this much faith!" 10 The officer's friends returned and found the servant well.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee,.... In person; therefore he sent the elders of the Jews to him first, and now some of his friends, who delivered these words in his name:
but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed; speak but the word only, rebuke the distemper, command it off, and it will be gone; so great was his faith in the power of Christ.
