Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible
Luke 7 - Introduction
Christ findeth a greater faith in the centurion, a Gentile, than in any of the Jews; healeth his servant being absent; raiseth from death the widow's son at Nain; answereth John's messengers with the declaration of his miracles; declareth to the people what opinion he held of John; testifieth against the Jews, who would neither be won with the manners of John nor of the Lord Jesus; and sheweth, by occasion of Mary Magdalene, how he is a friend to sinners; not to maintain them in their sins, but to forgive them their sins, upon their repentance and faith.
