Contextual Overview
1 WHEN he had finished all of these words, in the hearing of the people, Jesus entered Capernaum. 2 Now the servant of a centurion was seriously sick, one who was very dear to him; and he was near death. 3 And when he heard about Jesus, he sent to him Jewish elders, and besought him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, He is worthy to have this done for him; 5 For he loves our people, and has even built us a synagogue. 6 Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to him, and said, My Lord, do not trouble yourself; for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof; 7 That is why I was not worthy to come to you; but just say a word and my boy will be healed. 8 For I am also a man in government service, and there are soldiers under my command; 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. 9 When Jesus heard these things, he was amazed at him, and he turned and said to the people who followed him, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith as this. 10 So those who were sent returned to the house, and found the servant who was sick, healed.

And a certain centurion's servant,.... The same that Matthew makes mention of, Matthew 8:5,
Matthew 8:5- :.
Matthew 8:5- :.
who was dear unto him; to the centurion, being an honest, upright, faithful, and obliging servant; as Tabi was to Rabban Gamaliel, of whom his master said l,

was sick: of a palsy; see Matthew 8:6,
