Context of Luke 7:8
6Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: 7Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man placed under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it . 9When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned himself about, and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 10And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.
