SCRIPTURE
"And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;" — Luke 7:4 (ASV)
They besought him instantly. Urgently or earnestly.
He was worthy. The centurion. He had shown favour to the Jews, and it was not improper to show him a kindness.
