Luke 7:6

7:6 So Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

Galatians 6:17

6:17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.


tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the resultative action.

tn The participle ἀπέχοντος (apeconto") has been taken temporally.

sn See the note on the word centurion in 7:2.

tn Or “do not be bothered.”

sn Note the humility in the centurion’s statement I am not worthy in light of what others think (as v. 4 notes). See Luke 5:8 for a similar example of humility.

tn Paul is probably referring to scars from wounds received in the service of Jesus, although the term στίγμα (stigma) may imply ownership and suggest these scars served as brands (L&N 8.55; 33.481; 90.84).
