This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
a certain centurion: viz. the same that the Lord had blessed before (Mat_8:5-13); i.e. before the calling of the twelve, Mat_10:1, &c. This second healing of the centurion's bondman took place after the calling of the twelve (Luk_6:13-16). Note the different words and incidents. servant = bondman. Greek. doulos, not "pais" as in Mat_8:6 (App-108.) and in Luk_7:7 here, for the "pais" might be a "doulos", while the "doulos" need not be a ' pais". "Pais" relates to origin, "doulos" to condition, when used of the same person. dear = esteemed, or honoured. Not said of the "pais", and more suitable to "doulos".
