Now when He had finished his discourse in the audience of the people, He entered into Capernaum: and a certain centurion's servant,
2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready 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.

4 And when they came to Jesus, they sought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
And when they came to Jesus, they intreated Him earnestly, saying, he is worthy of this favor:
5 For he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue.
for he loveth our nation, and hath built us a synagogue.
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:
So Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to Him, saying Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst 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.
neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee. But speak the word, and my servant will be recovered.
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 the authority of others, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth 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 when Jesus heard these things, He marvelled, and turning about, said to the multitude that followed Him, I declare unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
And when they that were sent, returned to the house, they found the servant well, that had been sick.
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 the day after He went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with Him, and a great multitude besides:
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 came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carrying out to be buried, his mother's only son, and she was a widow: and many of the people of the city were with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.
And when the Lord saw her, He was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Do not weep.
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 He came up and touched the bier, (and the bearers stopped, ) and He said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
And the dead person sat up, and began to speak: and He delivered 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 an awe seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, a great prophet is risen up among us, and God hath visited his people.
17 And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
And this report of Him was spread through all Judea, and in all the country round about.
18 And the disciples of John showed him of all these things.
And the disciples of John told him of all these things: so John called two of his disciples to him,
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 sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect 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?
And the men came to Him, and said, John the baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect 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.
(Now at that very time He cured many of their diseases and plagues, and of evil spirits, and gave sight to many that were blind.)
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 unto them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them,

and happy is he who shall not be offended at any thing in me.

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.
a reed shaken by the wind? but what did ye go out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that are dressed in fine clothes and live delicately, are in palaces, not in deserts: but what went ye out to see?
26 But what went you out for to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
a prophet? yea, I say unto you, and much more 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 of 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 tell you that among the sons of men there is not a greater prophet than John the baptist: (though the least 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 that heard him, even the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John;
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

and to what are they like? they are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, "We have played pleasant tunes to you, and ye have not danced; we have sung mournful ones and ye have not wept:"
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a devil.

the Son of man is come eating and drinking like other men, and ye call Him a gluttonous man and a wine bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners.
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
But wisdom is justified by all her children.

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, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,
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.
brought an alabaster-box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind Him, weeping, and washed his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
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.
But when the pharisee that invited Him saw it, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of a woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a notorious sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to you. And he says, Master, say on.

41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed him five hundred denaries, 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?
and they not being able to pay him, he freely forgave them both: tell me therefore, which of them 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 answered, I suppose he to whom he forgave most. And Jesus said unto 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, Dost thou see this woman? I came into thine house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she has bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
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 the respect of a kiss; but this woman, ever since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil you did not anoint: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.
Thou didst not anoint my head with common oil, but she hath anointed even my feet with sweet ointment.
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.
Wherefore, I tell thee, her sins though many are forgiven, for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth but little.
48 And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven.
And He said unto 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 sat at table with Him, said within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
But He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace.
