2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.

3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought 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 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst 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 loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst 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 on which account I did not think myself worthy to come to thee; but command with a word, and let my servant 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 even I am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth 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 And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.
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.

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.

14 And he came up, and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Rise.
and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.

19 And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to 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?

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 And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;
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;

But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.

29 And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by 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 the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)

37 And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-bottle 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,

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 And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth 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.

There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;
42 When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?
but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say, ] which of them therefore will love him most?

50 But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
