Luke 7
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing 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 A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him Jewish elders, asking him to come and save 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 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,
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 built our synagogue for us."
for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come 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 Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will 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 placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this 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 was amazed at him, and turned and said to the crowd who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such 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 when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
11 It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples, along with a large crowd, went with him.
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 And when he drew near to the gate of the city, then look, a man who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from 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 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, "Do not cry."
And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell you, arise."
and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
15 He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us." and, "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 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.
And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look 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 had come to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look 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 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who 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 Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
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 Blessed is he who is not offended by me."
and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 When John's messengers had departed, he began to tell the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by 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 did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Look, those who are gorgeously dressed, 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 did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell 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, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will 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 "I tell you, among those who are born of women there is none greater than John, yet he who 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 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism.
(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 the Law scholars rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
31 "To what then will I liken the people of this generation? 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 children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'
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 demon.'
For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors 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 Wisdom is justified by all her children."
and wisdom has been justified of all her children.
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat at the table.
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 look, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar 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 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, 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 who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that 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 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on."
And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].
41 "A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;
42 When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore 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, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly."
And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
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 she, 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 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she has anointed my feet with myrrh.
47 Therefore I tell 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 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And those who were reclining with him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?
50 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.
