Luke - 7:3 Meaning

“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.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

7:1-10 Servants should study to endear themselves to their masters. Masters ought to take particular care of their servants when they are sick. We may still, by faithful and fervent prayer, apply to Christ, and ought to do so when sickness is in our families. The building places for religious worship is a good work, and an instance of love to God and his people. Our Lord Jesus was pleased with the centurion's faith; and he never fails to answer the expectations of that faith which honours his power and love. The cure soon wrought and perfect.

“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
