Luke 7
1 After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
And when He completed all His sayings in the ears of the people, He went into Capernaum;
2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.
and a certain centurion’s servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
3 And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.
and having heard about Jesus, he sent to Him elders of the Jews, imploring Him, that having come He might thoroughly save his servant.
4 And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;
And they, having come near to Jesus, were calling on Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will do this,
5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.
for he loves our nation, and he built to us the synagogue.”
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:
And Jesus was going on with them, and now when He is not far distant from the house the centurion sent to Him friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not be troubled, for I am not worthy that You may enter under my roof;
7 wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
for this reason I did not consider myself worthy to come to You, but say in a word, and my boy will be healed;
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Be coming, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does [it].”
9 And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel did I find so much faith”;
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.
and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
11 And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
And it came to pass, on the next day, He was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with Him many of His disciples, and a great multitude,
12 Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
and as He came near to the gate of the city, then, behold, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
And the LORD having seen her, was moved with compassion toward her and said to her, “Do not be weeping”;
14 And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
and having come near, He touched the bier, and those carrying [it] stood still, and He said, “Young man, to you I say, Arise”;
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother;
16 And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people.
and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us,” and, “God looked on His people.”
17 And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judæa, and all the region round about.
And the account of this went forth in all Judea about Him, and in all the region around.
18 And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
20 And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
And having come near to Him, the men said, “John the Immerser sent us to You, saying, Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.
And in that hour He cured many from diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind.
22 And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.
And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone on, report to John what you saw and heard, that blind men see again, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
and blessed is he whoever may not be stumbled in Me.”
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What have you gone forth into the wilderness to look on? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
But what have you gone forth to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, they in splendid clothing, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
26 But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
But what have you gone forth to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:
27 This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
this is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You;
28 I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
for I say to you, there is not a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Immerser; but the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors, declared God righteous, having been immersed with the immersion of John,
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.
but the Pharisees and the lawyers put away the counsel of God for themselves, having not been immersed by him.
31 Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
And the LORD said, “To what, then, will I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.
They are like to children, to those sitting in a marketplace, and calling to one another, and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we mourned to you, and you did not weep!
33 For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
For John the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon;
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners;
35 And wisdom is justified of all her children.
and the wisdom was justified from all her children.”
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking Him that He might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee He reclined,
37 And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that He reclines in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
and having stood behind, beside His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing His feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
And the Pharisee who called Him, having seen, spoke within himself, saying, “This One, if He were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who touches Him, that she is a sinner.”
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you”; and he says, “Teacher, say on.”
41 A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.
“Two debtors were to a certain creditor; one was owing five hundred denarii, and the other fifty;
42 When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
and they not having [with which] to give back, he forgave both; which of them then, do you say, will love him more?”
43 Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
And Simon answering said, “I suppose that to whom he forgave the more”; and He said to him, “You judged correctly.”
44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
And having turned to the woman, He said to Simon, “See this woman? I entered into your house; you did not give water for My feet, but this woman wet My feet with tears, and wiped with the hairs of her head;
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
you did not give a kiss to Me, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing My feet;
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.
you did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman anointed My feet with oil;
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.
therefore I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom is forgiven little, loves little.”
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven”;
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
and those dining with Him began to say within themselves, “Who is this, who also forgives sins?”
50 And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
