Luke 7
1 When he'd finished speaking to the people, Jesus left for Capernaum.
επειδη επληρωσεν παντα τα ρηματα αυτου εις τας ακοας του λαου εισηλθεν εις καφαρναουμ
2 A centurion lived there who had a servant he greatly valued who was sick and was about to die.
εκατονταρχου δε τινος δουλος κακως εχων ημελλεν τελευταν ος ην αυτω εντιμος
3 When he heard about Jesus, the centurion sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.
ακουσας δε περι του ιησου απεστειλεν προς αυτον πρεσβυτερους των ιουδαιων ερωτων αυτον οπως ελθων διασωση τον δουλον αυτου
4 When the elders came to Jesus, they pleaded with him strongly, saying, “Please come and do what he asks. He deserves your help,
οι δε παραγενομενοι προς τον ιησουν παρεκαλουν αυτον σπουδαιως λεγοντες οτι αξιος εστιν ω παρεξη τουτο
5 because he loves our people and he built a synagogue for us.”
αγαπα γαρ το εθνος ημων και την συναγωγην αυτος ωκοδομησεν ημιν
6 Jesus went with them and as they approached the house, the centurion sent some friends to Jesus to tell him, “Lord, please don't trouble yourself by coming into my house, because I'm not worthy of that.
ο δε ιησους επορευετο συν αυτοις ηδη δε αυτου ου μακραν απεχοντος απο της οικιας επεμψεν φιλους ο εκατονταρχης λεγων αυτω κυριε μη σκυλλου ου γαρ ικανος ειμι ινα υπο την στεγην μου εισελθης
7 I didn't even think that I was worthy to come and see you. Just give the command, and my servant will be healed.
διο ουδε εμαυτον ηξιωσα προς σε ελθειν αλλα ειπε λογω και ιαθητω ο παις μου
8 For I'm under the authority of my superior officers, and I have soldiers under my authority too. I command one to go and he goes, another to come and he comes. I command my servant to do something and he does it.”
και γαρ εγω ανθρωπος ειμι υπο εξουσιαν τασσομενος εχων υπ εμαυτον στρατιωτας και λεγω τουτω πορευθητι και πορευεται και αλλω ερχου και ερχεται και τω δουλω μου ποιησον τουτο και ποιει
9 When Jesus heard this he was astounded. He turned to the crowd that was following him, and said, “I tell you, I haven't found trust like this even in Israel.”
ακουσας δε ταυτα ο ιησους εθαυμασεν αυτον και στραφεις τω ακολουθουντι αυτω οχλω ειπεν λεγω υμιν ουδε εν τω ισραηλ τοσαυτην πιστιν ευρον
10 Then the centurion's friends returned to the house and found the servant in good health.
και υποστρεψαντες εις τον οικον οι πεμφθεντες ευρον τον δουλον υγιαινοντα
11 Soon after Jesus went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large crowd.
και εγενετο εν τω εξης επορευθη εις πολιν καλουμενην ναιν και συνεπορευοντο αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου και οχλος πολυς
12 As he approached the town gate a funeral procession was coming the other way. The man who had died was the only son of a widow, and a sizeable crowd from the town was with her.
ως δε ηγγισεν τη πυλη της πολεως και ιδου εξεκομιζετο τεθνηκως μονογενης υιος τη μητρι αυτου και αυτη ην χηρα και οχλος της πολεως ικανος ην συν αυτη
13 When the Lord saw her he was filled with compassion for her. “Don't cry,” he told her.
και ιδων αυτην ο κυριος εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτη και ειπεν αυτη μη κλαιε
14 Jesus went over to the coffin and touched it, and the pall-bearers stopped. Jesus said, “Young man, I tell you, get up.”
και προσελθων ηψατο της σορου οι δε βασταζοντες εστησαν και ειπεν νεανισκε σοι λεγω εγερθητι
15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
και ανεκαθισεν ο νεκρος και ηρξατο λαλειν και εδωκεν αυτον τη μητρι αυτου
16 A sense of awe filled everyone there and they praised God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us,” and “God has visited his people.”
ελαβεν δε φοβος παντας και εδοξαζον τον θεον λεγοντες οτι προφητης μεγας ηγερθη εν ημιν και οτι επεσκεψατο ο θεος τον λαον αυτου
17 News about Jesus spread throughout Judea, and all around.
και εξηλθεν ο λογος ουτος εν ολη τη ιουδαια περι αυτου και παση τη περιχωρω
18 The disciples of John told John about all this.
και απηγγειλαν ιωαννη οι μαθηται αυτου περι παντων τουτων
19 John called two of his disciples and told them to go and see Jesus, and ask, “Are you the one we've been expecting, or should we wait for someone else?”
και προσκαλεσαμενος δυο τινας των μαθητων αυτου ο ιωαννης επεμψεν προς τον κυριον λεγων συ ει ο ερχομενος η {VAR1: ετερον } {VAR2: αλλον } προσδοκωμεν
20 When they came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you, to ask you, ‘Are you the one we've been expecting or should we wait for someone else?’”
παραγενομενοι δε προς αυτον οι ανδρες ειπαν ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης απεστειλεν ημας προς σε λεγων συ ει ο ερχομενος η αλλον προσδοκωμεν
21 At that very moment Jesus was healing many people of their diseases, illnesses, evil spirits, and making the blind to see.
εν εκεινη τη ωρα εθεραπευσεν πολλους απο νοσων και μαστιγων και πνευματων πονηρων και τυφλοις πολλοις εχαρισατο βλεπειν
22 Jesus answered John's disciples, “Go and tell John what you've seen and heard. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers cured, the deaf hear, the dead raised back to life, the poor are told the good news.
και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις πορευθεντες απαγγειλατε ιωαννη α ειδετε και ηκουσατε τυφλοι αναβλεπουσιν χωλοι περιπατουσιν λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσιν νεκροι εγειρονται πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται
23 How good it is for those who are not offended because of me!”
και μακαριος εστιν ος εαν μη σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι
24 After the messengers from John had left, Jesus began telling the crowd, “About John: what did you expect to see when you went out to meet him in the desert? Some reed blown about by the wind?
απελθοντων δε των αγγελων ιωαννου ηρξατο λεγειν προς τους οχλους περι ιωαννου τι εξηλθατε εις την ερημον θεασασθαι καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον
25 Did you come looking for a man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who have stylish clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces.
αλλα τι εξηλθατε ιδειν ανθρωπον εν μαλακοις ιματιοις ημφιεσμενον ιδου οι εν ιματισμω ενδοξω και τρυφη υπαρχοντες εν τοις βασιλειοις εισιν
26 Were you looking for a prophet? Yes he is, and I'm telling you, he's much more than a prophet.
αλλα τι εξηλθατε ιδειν προφητην ναι λεγω υμιν και περισσοτερον προφητου
27 It was written about him in Scripture: ‘Look, I'm sending my messenger to go before you to prepare your way.’
ουτος εστιν περι ου γεγραπται ιδου αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου ος κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου
28 I tell you, no one born of women is greater than John, but even the most unimportant person in God's kingdom is greater than he is!”
λεγω υμιν μειζων εν γεννητοις γυναικων ιωαννου ουδεις εστιν ο δε μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια του θεου μειζων αυτου εστιν
29 When they heard this, all of them—even the tax collectors—followed what God said was good and right, for they had been baptized by John.
και πας ο λαος ακουσας και οι τελωναι εδικαιωσαν τον θεον βαπτισθεντες το βαπτισμα ιωαννου
30 But the Pharisees and the religious teachers rejected what God wanted them to do, for they had refused to be baptized by John.
οι δε φαρισαιοι και οι νομικοι την βουλην του θεου ηθετησαν εις εαυτους μη βαπτισθεντες υπ αυτου
31 “What shall I compare these people to?” asked Jesus. “What are they like?
τινι ουν ομοιωσω τους ανθρωπους της γενεας ταυτης και τινι εισιν ομοιοι
32 They're like children sitting in the market who tell one other, ‘We played the flute for you but you didn't dance; we sang sad songs but you didn't cry.’
ομοιοι εισιν παιδιοις τοις εν αγορα καθημενοις και προσφωνουσιν αλληλοις α λεγει ηυλησαμεν υμιν και ουκ ωρχησασθε εθρηνησαμεν και ουκ εκλαυσατε
33 When John the Baptist came he didn't eat bread or drink wine, but you say he's demon-possessed.
εληλυθεν γαρ ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης μη εσθιων αρτον μητε πινων οινον και λεγετε δαιμονιον εχει
34 Now the Son of man is here, and eats and drinks with people, but you say, ‘Look, he spends his time eating too much food and drinking too much wine. Plus he's a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
εληλυθεν ο υιος του ανθρωπου εσθιων και πινων και λεγετε ιδου ανθρωπος φαγος και οινοποτης φιλος τελωνων και αμαρτωλων
35 However, God's wise ways are proved right by all who follow him!”
και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο παντων των τεκνων αυτης
36 One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to come and eat with him. Jesus went to the Pharisee's house and sat down to the meal.
ηρωτα δε τις αυτον των φαρισαιων ινα φαγη μετ αυτου και εισελθων εις τον οικον του φαρισαιου κατεκλιθη
37 A woman who was a sinner in that town found out that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee's house. She went there, carrying an alabaster jar of perfume.
και ιδου γυνη ητις ην εν τη πολει αμαρτωλος και επιγνουσα οτι κατακειται εν τη οικια του φαρισαιου κομισασα αλαβαστρον μυρου
38 She kneeled beside Jesus and with her tears wet his feet, and dried them with her hair. She kissed his feet, and then she poured the perfume over them.
και στασα οπισω παρα τους ποδας αυτου κλαιουσα τοις δακρυσιν ηρξατο βρεχειν τους ποδας αυτου και ταις θριξιν της κεφαλης αυτης εξεμασσεν και κατεφιλει τους ποδας αυτου και ηλειφεν τω μυρω
39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this he said to himself, “If this man was really a prophet he would know who this woman was who's touching him, and what kind of person she was—that she's a sinner!”
ιδων δε ο φαρισαιος ο καλεσας αυτον ειπεν εν εαυτω λεγων ουτος ει ην {VAR1: [ο] } προφητης εγινωσκεν αν τις και ποταπη η γυνη ητις απτεται αυτου οτι αμαρτωλος εστιν
40 Jesus spoke up and said, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he responded.
και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν προς αυτον σιμων εχω σοι τι ειπειν ο δε διδασκαλε ειπε φησιν
41 “Once two people were in debt to a money-lender. One owed five hundred denarii, the other only fifty.
δυο χρεοφειλεται ησαν δανιστη τινι ο εις ωφειλεν δηναρια πεντακοσια ο δε ετερος πεντηκοντα
42 Neither of them could repay him, so he forgave the debts. Which one will love him the most?”
μη εχοντων αυτων αποδουναι αμφοτεροις εχαρισατο τις ουν αυτων πλειον αγαπησει αυτον
43 “The one he forgave the most, I would think,” Simon answered. “You're absolutely right,” said Jesus.
αποκριθεις σιμων ειπεν υπολαμβανω οτι ω το πλειον εχαρισατο ο δε ειπεν αυτω ορθως εκρινας
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “You see this woman? When I came into your house, you didn't give me water to wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
και στραφεις προς την γυναικα τω σιμωνι εφη βλεπεις ταυτην την γυναικα εισηλθον σου εις την οικιαν υδωρ μοι επι ποδας ουκ εδωκας αυτη δε τοις δακρυσιν εβρεξεν μου τους ποδας και ταις θριξιν αυτης εξεμαξεν
45 You didn't give me a kiss, but since I came in she hasn't stopped kissing my feet.
φιλημα μοι ουκ εδωκας αυτη δε αφ ης εισηλθον ου διελιπεν καταφιλουσα μου τους ποδας
46 You didn't anoint my head with oil, but she poured perfume over my feet.
ελαιω την κεφαλην μου ουκ ηλειψας αυτη δε μυρω ηλειψεν τους ποδας μου
47 So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—that's why she loves so much. But whoever is forgiven little, only loves a little.”
ου χαριν λεγω σοι αφεωνται αι αμαρτιαι αυτης αι πολλαι οτι ηγαπησεν πολυ ω δε ολιγον αφιεται ολιγον αγαπα
48 Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins have been forgiven.”
ειπεν δε αυτη αφεωνται σου αι αμαρτιαι
49 Those who were sitting eating with him began talking among themselves, saying, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
και ηρξαντο οι συνανακειμενοι λεγειν εν εαυτοις τις ουτος εστιν ος και αμαρτιας αφιησιν
50 But Jesus told the woman, “Your trust has saved you, go in peace.”
ειπεν δε προς την γυναικα η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε πορευου εις ειρηνην
