Luke 7
1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.
And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they sought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
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 he has built us a synagogue.
for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not yourself: for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof:
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.
7 Why neither thought I myself worthy to come to you: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does 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, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned him about, and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
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.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.
And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Arise.
and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God has visited his people.
And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.
17 And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
18 And the disciples of John showed him of all these things.
And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
19 And John calling to him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?
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?
20 When the men were come to him, they said, John Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?
But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight.
In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
22 Then Jesus answering said to them, Go your way, and tell John what things you have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;
23 And blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in me.
and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went you out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?
25 But what went you out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.
26 But what went you out for to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
28 For I say to you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater [prophet] is no one than John [the baptist]; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
(And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
31 And the Lord said, To what then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
32 They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not wept.
They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a devil.
For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and you say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners!
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
and wisdom has been justified of all her children.
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
and standing at his feet behind [him] weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the myrrh.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him: for she is a sinner.
And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to you. And he says, Master, say on.
And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say, ] which of them therefore will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, You have rightly judged.
And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, See you this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
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.
45 You gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Thou gavest me not a kiss, but she from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.
46 My head with oil you did not anoint: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she has anointed my feet with myrrh.
47 Why I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.
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.
48 And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven.
And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also?
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, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
