2 and a certain centurion’s servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 and having heard about Jesus, he sent to Him elders of the Jews, imploring Him, that having come He might thoroughly save his servant.
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 they, having come near to Jesus, were calling on Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will do this,
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 for he loves our nation, and he built to us the synagogue.”
For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 And Jesus was going on with them, and now when He is not far distant from the house the centurion sent to Him friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not be troubled, for I am not worthy that You may enter under my roof;
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 thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 for this reason I did not consider myself worthy to come to You, but say in a word, and my boy will be healed;
Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but say 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, Be coming, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does [it].”
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel did I find so much faith”;
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned himself about, and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.

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 many people.
12 and as He came near to the gate of the city, then, behold, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.
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 many people of the city were with her.

14 and having come near, He touched the bier, and those carrying [it] stood still, and He said, “Young man, to you I say, Arise”;
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise.
15 and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother;
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

18 And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
And the disciples of John reported to him of all these things.
19 and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
And John calling two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 And having come near to Him, the men said, “John the Immerser sent us to You, saying, Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that hour He cured many from diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind.
And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and afflictions, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight.
22 And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone on, report to John what you saw and heard, that blind men see again, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
Then Jesus answering said to them, Go, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
26 But what have you gone forth 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 much more than a prophet.
27 this is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You;

The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!

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 eat.
37 and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that He reclines in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
And, behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited 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 toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

42 and they not having [with which] to give back, he forgave both; which of them then, do you say, will love him more?”
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 And Simon answering said, “I suppose that to whom he forgave the more”; and He said to him, “You judged correctly.”
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And having turned to the woman, He said to Simon, “See this woman? I entered into your house; you did not give water for My feet, but this woman wet My feet with tears, and wiped with the hairs of her head;
And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 you did not give a kiss to Me, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing My feet;
Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 you did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman anointed My feet with oil;
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 therefore I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom is forgiven little, loves little.”
Therefore I say to thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48 And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven”;
And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 and those dining with Him began to say within themselves, “Who is this, who also forgives sins?”
And they that were eating with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
