This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 7:5. Ἀγαπᾷ, he loveth) A feeling which is rare in a Roman soldier.-γὰρ, for) It was in a different thing that his chief worthiness lay, namely, in his faith; Luk 7:9.-αὐτὸς) himself, of himself, of his own accord. This act, viz. his building a synagogue, was something greater and more rare than his loving their nation.-ᾠκοδόμησεν, he has built) at his own expense, or by his command: not merely did he not (as others) profane and violate a synagogue.
