Luke 7:2
And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
And a certain centurion's servant,.... The same that Matthew makes mention of, Matthew 8:5,
See Gill on "Matthew 8:5".
See Gill on "Matthew 8:6".
who was dear unto him; to the centurion, being an honest, upright, faithful, and obliging servant; as Tabi was to Rabban Gamaliel, of whom his master said {l},
"Tabi my servant, is not as other servants, hyh rvk, "he is upright".''
was sick: of a palsy; see Matthew 8:6,
and ready to die; in all appearance his case was desperate, and there was no help for him by any human means, which makes the following cure, the more remarkable.
{l} T. Bab. Beracot, fol. 16. 2.
