Luke 7:8 in Context — Luke 7

6 Y Jesús fué con ellos. Mas como ya no estuviesen lejos de su casa, envió el centurión amigos á él, diciéndole: Señor, no te incomodes, que no soy digno que entres debajo de mi tejado;

7 Por lo cual ni aun me tuve por digno de venir á ti; mas di la palabra, y mi siervo será sano.

8 Porque también yo soy hombre puesto en potestad, que tengo debajo de mí soldados; y digo á éste: Ve, y va; y al otro: Ven, y viene; y á mi siervo: Haz esto, y lo hace.

9 Lo cual oyendo Jesús, se maravilló de él, y vuelto, dijo á las gentes que le seguían: Os digo [que] ni aun en Israel he hallado tanta fe.

10 Y vueltos á casa los que habían sido enviados, hallaron sano al siervo que había estado enfermo.
