Luke 7:6-7

Context
7:6 So 1  Jesus went with them. When 2  he was not far from the house, the centurion 3  sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, 4  for I am not worthy 5  to have you come under my roof. 7:7 That is why 6  I did not presume 7  to come to you. Instead, say the word, and my servant must be healed. 8

[7:6]  1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the resultative action.

[7:6]  2 tn The participle ἀπέχοντος (apeconto") has been taken temporally.

[7:6]  3 sn See the note on the word centurion in 7:2.

[7:6]  4 tn Or “do not be bothered.”

[7:6]  5 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.

[7:7]  6 tn Or “roof; therefore.”

[7:7]  7 tn Grk “I did not consider myself worthy to come to you.” See BDAG 94 s.v. ἀξιόω 1. “Presume” assumes this and expresses the idea in terms of offense.

[7:7]  8 tc The aorist imperative ἰαθήτω (iaqhtw, “must be healed”) is found in Ì75vid B L 1241 sa. Most mss (א A C D W Θ Ψ Ë1,13 33 Ï latt bo) have instead a future indicative, ἰαθήσεται (iaqhsetai, “will be healed”). This is most likely an assimilation to Matt 8:8, and thus, as a motivated reading, should be considered secondary. The meaning either way is essentially the same.
