NETBible

When the centurion¹ heard² about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders³ to him, asking him to come⁴ and heal his slave.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “he”; the referent (the centurion) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn The participle ἀκούσας (akousas) has been taken temporally.

³sn Why some Jewish elders are sent as emissaries is not entirely clear, but the centurion was probably respecting ethnic boundaries, which were important in ancient Greco-Roman and Jewish culture. The parallel account in Matt 8:5-13 does not mention the emissaries.

⁴tn The participle ἐλθών (elqwn) has been translated as an infinitive in parallel with διασώσῃ (diaswsh) due to requirements of contemporary English style.
