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.—Better, earnestly, or urgently, the adverb “instantly” having practically lost the meaning which our translators attached to it.
