Luke 7:8 in Context — Luke 7

6 Jesus foi com eles; mas quando já não estava longe da casa, o centurião enviou-lhe uns amigos, dizendo-lhe: “Senhor, não te incomodes, porque não sou digno que entres abaixo do meu telhado.

7 Por isso que nem mesmo me considerei digno de vir a ti; mas diz uma palavra, e o meu servo sarará.

8 Porque também eu sou homem subordinado à autoridade, e tenho soldados sob o meu comando, e digo a este: 'Vai', e ele vai; e a outro: 'Vem', e ele vem; e a meu servo: 'Faz isto', e ele faz”.

9 Quando Jesus ouviu isso, admirou-se dele; então se virou, e disse à multidão que o seguia: Digo-vos que nem mesmo em Israel achei tanta fé.

10 E quando os que foram enviados voltaram para casa, acharam com boa saúde o servo antes doente.
