Luke 7

A Centurion’s Slave Healed

1 After he had finished all his statements in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 Now a certain centurion’s slave, who was esteemed by him, was sick*Literally "was having badly" and**Here "and" is supplied because the previous participle ("was having") has been translated as a finite verb was about to die. 3 So when he**Here "when" is supplied as a component of the participle ("heard") which is understood as temporal heard about Jesus, he sent Jewish elders to him, asking him that he would come and**Here "and" is supplied because the previous participle ("come") has been translated as a finite verb cure his slave. 4 And when they**Here "when" is supplied as a component of the participle ("came") which is understood as temporal came to Jesus, they began imploring*The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here ("began imploring") him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy that you grant this for him, 5 because he loves our nation and he himself built the synagogue for us." 6 So Jesus went with them. Now by this time he was not far away from the house, and**Here "and" is supplied because the previous participle ("away") has been translated as a finite verb the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof. 7 For this reason neither did I consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and my slave must be healed. 8 For I also am a man placed under authority, who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another one, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it."**Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation

9 And when**Here "when" is supplied as a component of the participle ("heard") which is understood as temporal Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning around to the crowd that was following him, he said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!" 10 And when they**Here "when" is supplied as a component of the participle ("returned") which is understood as temporal returned to the house, those who had been sent found the slave healthy.
