Luke 7
1 When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
And when He completed all His sayings in the ears of the people, He went into Capernaum;
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
and a certain centurion’s servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
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 about Jesus, he sent to Him elders of the Jews, imploring Him, that having come He might thoroughly save his servant.
4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
And they, having come near to Jesus, were calling on Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will do this,
5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
for he loves our nation, and he built to us the synagogue.”
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 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;
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.
for this reason I did not consider myself worthy to come to You, but say in a word, and my boy will 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, Be coming, and he comes; and to my servant, 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 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”;
10 And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
And it came to pass, on the next day, He was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with Him many of His disciples, and a great multitude,
12 And as he came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
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.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not.
And the LORD having seen her, was moved with compassion toward her and said to her, “Do not be weeping”;
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 having come near, He touched the bier, and those carrying [it] stood still, and He said, “Young man, to you I say, Arise”;
15 And he that 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 And fear seized on all, and they gave glory to God, saying, A great prophet hath risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.
and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us,” and, “God looked on His people.”
17 And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
And the account of this went forth in all Judea about Him, and in all the region around.
18 And the disciples of John told him all these things.
And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
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 near a certain two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
20 And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
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?”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
And in that hour He cured many from diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind.
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, “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;
23 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
and blessed is he whoever may not be stumbled in Me.”
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind?
And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What have you gone forth into the wilderness to look on? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings' palaces.
But what have you gone forth to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, they in splendid clothing, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
26 But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
But what have you gone forth to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:
27 This is he of whom it is written, “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”
this is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You;
28 I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
for I say to you, there is not a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Immerser; but the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
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 having heard, and the tax collectors, declared God righteous, having been immersed with the immersion 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 put away the counsel of God for themselves, having not been immersed by him.
31 To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?
And the LORD said, “To what, then, will I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep.
They are like to children, to those sitting in a marketplace, and calling to one another, and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we mourned to you, and you did not weep!
33 For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
For John the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon;
34 The Son of man hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners;
35 But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
and the wisdom was justified from all her children.”
36 And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined at the table.
And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking Him that He might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee He reclined,
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, having known that He reclines in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
and having stood behind, beside His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing His feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
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 called Him, having seen, spoke within himself, saying, “This One, if He were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who touches Him, that she is a sinner.”
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you”; and he says, “Teacher, say on.”
41 A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, and the other fifty.
“Two debtors were to a certain creditor; one was owing 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?
and they not having [with which] to give back, he forgave both; which of them then, do you say, will love him more?”
43 Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
And Simon answering said, “I suppose that to whom he forgave the more”; and He said to him, “You judged correctly.”
44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
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;
45 No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.
you did not give a kiss to Me, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing My feet;
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.
you did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman anointed My feet with oil;
47 Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.
therefore I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom is forgiven little, loves little.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.
And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven”;
49 And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
and those dining with Him began to say within themselves, “Who is this, who also forgives sins?”
50 But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
