Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 7:1-7

1When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
2There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.
3When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
4They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
5for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
6So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
7That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
— Luke 7:1-7
