18 Οκτ 2019 · Questions for Reflection and Discussion – Luke 7 1-10. We are studying Luke 7:1-10 for Sunday, October 20. The text is the story of Jesus’s healing of a centurion’s servant. [ Notes on the text are here.] Here are a few questions about the text we might want to consider:
9 Απρ 2024 · Verse 2 establishes the situation: the centurion, whom we can assume is a Gentile, has a slave; the slave is important, but sick, and about to die. So the centurion hears about Jesus and “sends” people, “elders of the Jews,” – so they are made, literally, “apostles” – “asking” for Jesus to come cure the slave.
(Luke 7:1-10, NIV) The story of the centurion and his terminally ill servant speaks to us on various levels. First, it is the story of an army officer who cares about a beloved servant.
I. The centurion’s servant that was sick was dear to his master, Luke 7:2. It was the praise of the servant that by his diligence and faithfulness, and a manifest concern for his master and his interest, as for himself and for his own, he recommended himself to his master’s esteem and love.
3 Απρ 2016 · International Bible Lesson Commentary. Luke 7:1-10. (Luke 7:1) Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. After Jesus’ hometown of Nazareth rejected Him and tried to murder Him, Jesus made His home in Capernaum (see Luke 4:28-31).
Luke 7:1–10 gives the first account: the faith of the generous other. A centurion in Capernaum who built the local synagogue sends Jewish elders to ask Jesus to heal his servant. Unlike others who have sought Jesus' help, the Gentile military commander trusts that Jesus is powerful enough to heal over distance.
