Luke 7:6

Read in context

Luke 7:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5 for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6 So 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.

7 That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
