Luke 7
1. Jesus finds a greater faith in the centurion;
10. heals his servant, being absent;
11. raises from death the widow's son at Nain;
18. answers John's messengers with the declaration of his miracles;
24. testifies to the people what opinion he held of John;
31. compares this generation to the children in the marketplaces,
36. and allowing his feet to be washed and anointed by a woman who was a sinner,
44. he shows how he is a friend to sinners, to forgive them their sins, upon their repentance.














At that very hour
This phrase indicates a specific moment in time, emphasizing the immediacy and divine timing of Jesus' actions. The Greek word for "hour" (ὥρα, hōra) can denote a particular time or season, suggesting that Jesus' miracles were not random but orchestrated according to God's perfect plan. This highlights the sovereignty of God in the unfolding of His redemptive work through Christ.

He healed many people
The act of healing is central to Jesus' ministry, demonstrating His compassion and divine authority. The Greek word for "healed" (ἰάομαι, iaomai) implies not just physical restoration but also spiritual and emotional wholeness. This reflects the holistic nature of Jesus' mission, addressing the totality of human brokenness and pointing to the ultimate healing found in salvation.

of diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits
This phrase encompasses the various forms of suffering that Jesus addressed. "Diseases" (νόσοι, nosoi) refers to physical ailments, while "afflictions" (βασάνοις, basanois) can imply severe distress or torment, possibly of a psychological nature. "Evil spirits" (πνεύματα πονηρά, pneumata ponēra) indicates demonic oppression, showcasing Jesus' authority over the spiritual realm. Together, these terms illustrate the comprehensive scope of Jesus' power to deliver humanity from all forms of bondage.

and He gave sight to many who were blind
The restoration of sight is both a literal and metaphorical act. Physically, it demonstrates Jesus' miraculous power over creation. Spiritually, it symbolizes enlightenment and the revelation of truth. The Greek word for "gave sight" (χαρίζομαι, charizomai) suggests a gracious gift, underscoring the unmerited favor bestowed upon those who receive spiritual insight. This act foreshadows the greater spiritual awakening that Jesus brings to those who are spiritually blind, opening their eyes to the reality of God's kingdom.

(21) And in that same hour he cured . . . The statement of the facts is peculiar to St. Luke, and obviously adds much force to our Lord's answer. He pointed to what was passing before the eyes of the questioners.

Plagues.--See Note on Mark 3:10.

Verse 21. - And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. "He knew as God what John's design was in sending to him, and he put it into his heart to send at that very time when he himself was working many miracles which were the true answer to the question" (Cyril, quoted by Wordsworth).
