Contextual Overview
1When Jesus was done teaching there, he headed back to Capernaum.
2A marshal from Rome had a deputy who he thought a lot of. This deputy had come down with something and was real close to dying.
3The marshal heard about the things Jesus had done, so he sent some Jewish leaders to see if Jesus would help.
4They came up to Jesus and said, "We're beggin' you to come help the marshal's deputy.
5The marshal has done a lot for our country and he has helped build some of our churches."
6So Jesus rode off with them. When they neared the marshal's place, he sent a messenger out with a message, "Lord, do not come here. I'm not good enough to have you at my place.
7I'm not even good enough to come out and meet you myself. But I know that all you have to do is say the word and my deputy will be healed.
8I work for someone myself and I also have people who work for me. If I tell someone to do something, they do it. I can tell someone else to go somewhere and they will go. I don't have to go somewhere in order to know my word will be done."
9Jesus was actually a little shocked by this. He turned to a bunch of people who had followed him and said, "I wish the Jews had this much faith."
10The messenger went back to the marshal's house and the deputy had been healed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee,.... In person; therefore he sent the elders of the Jews to him first, and now some of his friends, who delivered these words in his name:
but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed; speak but the word only, rebuke the distemper, command it off, and it will be gone; so great was his faith in the power of Christ.
