“For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.”
“for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.””
“for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.””
“for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.”
Verses 1-10 Servants should study to endear themselves to their masters. Masters ought to take particular care of their servants when they are sick. We may still, by faithful and fervent prayer, apply to Christ, and ought to do so when sickness is in our families. The building places for religious worship is a good work, and an instance of love to God and his people. Our Lord Jesus was pleased with the centurion's faith; and he never fails to answer the expectations of that faith which honours his power and love. The cure soon wrought and perfect.
