Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 7:5

"for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue." — Luke 7:5 (ASV)

He hath built us a synagogue.—Literally, the synagogue, a well-known and conspicuous building, probably the only one in Capernaum, and thus identical with the one whose ruins have recently been discovered by the Palestine Exploration Society. (See Note on Matthew 4:13.)
