< Luke 7 >

1 When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.
AND when he had finished all these words in the hearing of the people, Jeshu entered into Kapher-nachum.
2 And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.
But the servant of a certain centurion, who was valued by him, was sick, and nigh unto dying.
3 And when he heard of Iesus, hee sent vnto him the Elders of the Iewes, beseeching him that he would come, and heale his seruant.
And he heard of Jeshu, and sent to him the elders of the Jihudoyee, and besought him to come (and) save his servant.
4 So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him:
And they, when they came to Jeshu, besought of him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou do this for him;
5 For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.
for he loveth our people, and also a synagogue he hath built for us.
6 Then Iesus went with them: but when he was now not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to him, saying vnto him, Lord, trouble not thy selfe: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe:
And Jeshu went with them. But when he was not greatly distant from the house, the centurion sent to him his friends, saying to him, My Lord, labour not, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter beneath my roof.
7 Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:
Wherefore I was not worthy to come to thee; but speak by a word, and my youth shall be healed.
8 For I likewise am a man set vnder authoritie, and haue vnder mee souldiers, and I say vnto one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it.
For I also am a man who am subjected under authority; and there are under my hand 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.
9 When Iesus heard these things, he marueiled at him, and turned him, and said to the people, that followed him, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
Now when Jeshu heard these (words), he admired, and turned and said to the company who came after him, I tell you, that not also in the house of Isroel have I found faith like this.
10 And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.
And they who had been sent, returned to the house, and found the servant who had been sick now well.
11 And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
AND it was the day after, that he went to a city whose name was Nain, and his disciples with him, and a great multitude.
12 Nowe when hee came neere to the gate of the citie, behold, there was a dead man caried out, who was the onely begotten sonne of his mother, which was a widowe, and much people of the citie was with her.
And as he approached the gate of the city, he saw (them) following (one) dead, who was the only born of his mother, and she his mother was a widow: and a great multitude of the people of the city were with her.
13 And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.
And Jeshu beheld her, and had compassion upon her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.
And he went and touched the bier; and they who were carrying it stood. And he said, Young man, to thee I say, Arise.
15 And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.
And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 Then there came a feare on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among vs, and God hath visited his people.
And fear seized all men; and they glorified Aloha, saying, A great prophet hath arisen among us, and Aloha hath visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.
And this word concerning him went forth into all Jihud, and into the whole region around them.
18 And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.
And the disciples of Juchanon showed him all these.
19 So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
AND Juchanon called two from his disciples,
20 And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
and sent them to Jeshu, saying, Art thou He who cometh! or another should we expect?
21 And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.
But in that very hour he healed many from diseases, and from plagues, and from evil spirits; and to many blind he gave to see.
22 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
And Jeshu answered and said to them, Go tell Juchanon every thing you have seen and heard: that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
23 And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
and blessed is he whosoever is not offended in me.
24 And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
But when the disciples of Juchanon were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the people concerning Juchanon: What went you forth into the wilderness to see? a reed from the wind shaken?
25 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.
If not, what went you forth to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are clothed in bright vestments, and are (living) in pleasures, are in the house of kings.
26 But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
If not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet:
27 This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send mine angel before thy face, Who shall prepare the way before thee.
28 For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.
I tell you, that no prophet among those born of women (hath been) greater than Juchanon the Baptizer. Yet the least in the kingdom of Aloha is greater than he.
29 Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.
(And all the people that heard him, and the tribute-gatherers also, justified Aloha, because they were baptized with the baptism of Juchanon.
30 But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
But the Pharishee and Sophree rejected against themselves the will of Aloha, because they were not baptized of him.)
31 And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
With what therefore shall I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
32 They are like vnto litle children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wept.
They are like children sitting in the public place, and crying to their companions, and saying, We have sung to you, and you have not danced; we have wailed to you, and you have not wept.
33 For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.
For Juchanon the Baptizer came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, A devil is in him.
34 The Sonne of man is come, and eateth and drinketh: and ye say, Beholde, a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of Publicanes and sinners:
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and you say, Behold a man a devourer and a drinker of wine, and a friend of tribute-takers and of sinners!
35 But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
But justified is wisdom of her sons.
36 And one of the Pharises desired him that hee would eate with him: and hee went into the Pharises house, and sate downe at table.
NOW there came one of the Pharishee requesting of him to eat with him: and he entered into the house of the Pharisha, and reclined.
37 And beholde, a woman in the citie, which was a sinner, when she knewe that Iesus sate at table in the Pharises house, shee brought a boxe of oyntment.
And a woman, a sinner, was in that city; and when she knew that in the house of the Pharisha he reclined, she took a vase of ointment,
38 And shee stoode at his feete behinde him weeping, and began to wash his feete with teares, and did wipe them with the heares of her head, and kissed his feete, and anoynted them with the oyntment.
and stood behind him at his feet and wept, and began with her tears to bedrop his feet, and with the hair of her head to wipe them, and she kissed his feet, and anointed (them) with the ointment.
39 Nowe when the Pharise which bade him, saw it, he spake within himselfe, saying, If this man were a Prophet, hee woulde surely haue knowen who, and what maner of woman this is which toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
But when the Pharisha who had invited him saw (this), he thought within himself and said, Were this a prophet, he would know who this is and what is her report, for this woman is a sinner who toucheth him.
40 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
But Jeshu answered and said to him, Shemun, I have somewhat to say to thee. He said to him, Say, Rabi.
41 There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
Jeshu said to him, A certain creditor had two debtors: the one owed him five hundred dinoree, and the other fifty dinoree.
42 When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most?
And when they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which, therefore, of them the most would love him?
43 Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
Shemun answered and said, I think he to whom much was forgiven. Jeshu said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
44 Then he turned to the woman, and said vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entred into thine house, and thou gauest mee no water to my feete: but she hath washed my feete with teares, and wiped them with the heares of her head.
And he turned to that woman, and said to Shemun, Thou seest this woman: I entered thy house; waters for my feet thou gavest me not; but this with her tears hath bedropped my feet, and with her hair hath wiped them.
45 Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
Thou didst not kiss me; but, behold, this from (the time) I entered hath not ceased my feet to kiss.
46 Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.
Thou with ointment my feet didst not anoint, but this with ointment of balsam my feet hath anointed.
47 Wherefore I say vnto thee, many sinnes are forgiuen her: for she loued much. To whom a litle is forgiuen, he doeth loue a litle.
Therefore I tell thee, That forgiven to her are her many sins, because she hath loved much. For he to whom little is forgiven, little loveth.
48 And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
And he said to her, Woman, forgiven to thee (are) thy sins.
49 And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?
But they who reclined said among themselves, Who is this who also sins forgiveth?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.
But Jeshu said to that woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
