Context — The Faith of the Centurion

8For 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.” 9When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

10And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd. 12As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

Luke 7:10 Summary

[This verse tells us that when the messengers returned to the centurion's house, they found the servant in good health, which means that Jesus had healed the servant from a distance, just like He did for the nobleman's son in John 4:46-53. This miracle shows us that Jesus has the power to heal and help us, even when we're not physically present with Him, as seen in Matthew 8:5-13. The centurion's faith and trust in Jesus played a big role in the servant's healing, reminding us that our faith can have a profound impact on the lives of those around us, as taught in Mark 11:22-24 and James 5:15.

Trapp's Commentary on Luke 7:10

10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. Ver. 10. See Matthew 8:13.

Ellicott's Commentary on Luke 7:10

(10) Found the servant whole.—Note St. Luke’s characteristic use, as in Luke 5:31, of a technical term for “healthy” or “convalescent.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Luke 7:10

Verse 10. Found the servant whole] This cure was the effect of the faith, prayer, and humility of the centurion, through which the almighty energy of Jesus Christ was conveyed to the sick man. But these very graces in the centurion were the products of grace. It is God himself who, by the gifts of his mercy, disposes the soul to receive its cure; and nothing can contribute to the reception of his grace but what is the fruit of grace itself. The apostle says, The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men, Titus 2:11. It should therefore be our concern, not to resist the operations of this grace: for though we cannot endue ourselves with by gracious disposition, yet we can quench the Spirit, by whose agency these are produced in the soul. The centurion had not received the grace of God in vain.

Cambridge Bible on Luke 7:10

10. found the servant whole] Rather, convalescent, a medical word which is found also in Luke 15:27 (and in a metaphorical sense in Titus 1:13; 1 Timothy 1:10; 1 Timothy 6:3; 2 Timothy 1:13; 2 Timothy 4:3).that had been sick] These words should probably be omitted.
