2 And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;

3 and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.
But when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.
4 But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,

5 for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
for he loves our nation, and of his own accord has built us a synagogue.
6 And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, and said to him: Lord, give thyself no trouble; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof.
7 Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.
For which reason, neither did I count myself worthy to go to thee; but command in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 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, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].
For I am a man placed under authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
9 And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
And when Jesus heard these things, he was filled with admiration for him; and, turning to the multitude that followed, he said: I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

And when he came near the gate of tho city, behold, they were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.

14 and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
And he went and touched the bier; and those who were carrying it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to you, Arise.

19 and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?

And the men came to him and said: John the Immerser has sent us to thee, and says, Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?
21 In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
And in that very hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and bestowed sight on many that were blind.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

29 (And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;
And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, vindicated God, by being immersed with the immersion of John;
30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him.

A certain creditor had two debtors; the one owed him five hundred denarii, the other, fifty.
42 but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say, ] which of them therefore will love him most?
But as they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, then, will love him the more?
43 And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Simon answered and said: I suppose he to whom he forgave the more. He said to him: You have decided correctly.
44 And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she has anointed my feet with myrrh.
You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.
Wherefore, I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much. But he to whom little is forgiven, loves little.
48 And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
And he said to her: Your sins are forgiven.
49 And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?

50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
But he said to the woman: Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
