Luke 7
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Now when He had finished his discourse in the audience of the people, He entered into Capernaum: and a certain centurion's servant,
2 A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
whom he had a great value for, was ill and ready 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 unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that He would come and heal his servant.
4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,
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 built our synagogue for us."
for he loveth our nation, and hath built us a synagogue.
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.
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 Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will 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 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 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 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 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 when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
And when they that were sent, returned to the house, they found the servant well, that had been sick.
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 the day after He went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with Him, and a great multitude besides:
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 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 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, "Do not cry."
And when the Lord saw her, He was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Do not weep.
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell 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 He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
And the dead person sat up, and began to speak: and He delivered 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 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 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.
And this report of Him was spread through all Judea, and in all the country round about.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
And the disciples of John told him of all these things: so John called two of his disciples to him,
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 sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect 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?'"
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 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who 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 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 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,
23 Blessed is he who is not offended by me."
and happy is he who shall not be offended at any thing 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?
When the messengers of John were departed, He began to speak unto the people concerning John, what went ye out into the wilderness to see?
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.
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 did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell 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, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will 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 "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 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 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 that heard him, even the publicans, justified God, being baptized 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 indeed and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God within themselves, and were not baptized by him.---
31 "To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?
Whereunto therefore shall I compare the men of this generation?
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.'
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 demon.'
for John the baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, he hath 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 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 Wisdom is justified by all her children."
But wisdom is justified by 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.
And one of the pharisees asked Him to eat with him: and He went into the pharisee's house, and sat down.
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, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,
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.
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 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."
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 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on."
And Jesus said unto him, Simon, I have something to say to thee: (and he replied, Master, say on.)
41 "A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed him five hundred denaries, and the other fifty:
42 When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore 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, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly."
And Simon answered, I suppose he to whom he forgave most. And Jesus said unto 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, 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 she, 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 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she 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 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."
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 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
And He said unto 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 sat at table with Him, said within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 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.
