Luke 7:1, Christ finds a greater faith in the centurion, a Gentile than in any of the Jews; Luke 7:10, heals his servant, being absent; Luke 7:11, raises from death the widow’s son at Nain; Luke 7:18, answers John’s messengers with the declaration of his miracles; Luke 7:24, testifies to the people what opinion he held of John; Luke 7:31, inveighs against the Jews, who with neither the manners of John nor of Jesus could be won; Luke 7:36, and suffering his feet to be washed and anointed by a woman who was a sinner, he shows how he is a friend to sinners, to forgive them their sins, upon their repentance.
