Luke 7
1 After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
And when he had finished all these discourses in the audience of the people, Jesus entered into Capernaum.
2 And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
And the servant of a centurion, who was dear to him, was very sick, and near to death.
3 But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
And he heard of Jesus, and sent the Elders of the Jews to him, and requested of him that he would come and save the life of his servant.
4 And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him earnestly, and said: He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
5 for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
for he loveth our nation, and hath also built us a house of assembly.
6 And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, and said to him: My Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof:
7 Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.
therefore I deemed myself not worthy to approach thee myself; but speak the word only, and my young man will be healed.
8 For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; 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 subjected to authority; and I have soldiers under my command; 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.
9 And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
And when Jesus heard these things, he admired him; and he turned, and said to the throng that followed him: I say to you, I have not found faith like this even in Israel.
10 And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
And they that were sent, returned to the house; and they found the servant that had been sick, now well.
11 And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
And the following day, he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
12 Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.
And as he approached the gate of the city, he saw a procession bearing a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she a widow; and a great company of the people of the city were with her.
13 And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
And Jesus looked upon her, and had compassion on her; and he said to her, Weep not.
14 And, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, Arise!
And he went, 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 man sat up, and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
And the dead man sat up, and began to speak: and he delivered him to his mother.
16 And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath visited his people!
And awe seized all the people; and they glorified God, and said: A great prophet hath arisen among us, and God hath visited his people.
17 And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
And that saying respecting him went out through all Judaea and all the surrounding region.
18 And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
And the disciples of John told him all these things.
19 And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
And John called two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that cometh, or shall we look for another?
20 And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
And they came to Jesus, and said to him: John the Baptizer hath sent us to thee, and saith: Art thou he that cometh, or shall we look for another?
21 In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
And in that hour he healed many persons of their diseases, and of plagues, and of unclean spirits, and gave sight to many blind persons.
22 And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
And Jesus replied, and said to them: Go ye, and tell John all that ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and to the poor good news is proclaimed:
23 And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
and blessed is he that is not stumbled in me.
24 And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
And when John's disciples were gone, Jesus began to say to the multitude, concerning John: What went ye into the wilderness to see? a reed agitated by the wind?
25 But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.
Or if not; what went ye out to see? a man clad in soft raiment? Lo, they that use splendid garments and luxuries, are in kings' palaces.
26 But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly more than a prophet.
Or if not; what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, say I to you; and more than a prophet.
27 This, is he concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
For this is he, of whom it is written: Behold I send my messenger before thy face, to prepare thy way before thee.
28 I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
I say to you, that no prophet, among those born of women, was greater than John the Baptizer: and yet the little one in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
29 And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
And all the people that heard him, justified God, as they had been baptized with John's baptism.
30 but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.
But the Pharisees and Scribes rejected the good pleasure of God, against themselves; as they were not baptized by him.
31 Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like?
To what, therefore, shall I compare this generation? and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
They are like children, that sit in the market-place, and call to their fellows and say: We have piped to you, and ye did not dance; we have howled to you, and ye did not weep.
33 For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
For John the Baptizer came, not eating bread, and not drinking wine; and ye say: He hath a demon.
34 The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
The Son of man came, eating and drinking; and ye say: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and one fond of publicans and sinners.
35 And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.
But wisdom is justified by all her children.
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
And one of the Pharisees came, and asked him to eat with him. And he entered the house of the Pharisee, and reclined.
37 And, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
And there was a woman in the city, who was a sinner; and when she learned that he reclined in the Pharisee's house, she took an alabaster box of perfume,
38 and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
and stood behind him, at his feet, and wept; and she began to bathe his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head; and she kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
39 But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.
And when the Pharisee that invited him, saw it, he thought within himself, and said: If this man were a prophet, he would know who she is, and what is her reputation; for the woman that toucheth him, is a sinner.
40 And, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
And Jesus answered, and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to thee. He said to him: Say it, Rabbi. Jesus said to him:
41 Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, and, the other, fifty.
There were two debtors to a certain creditor; the one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty denarii.
42 they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
And as they had not the means of pay, he released them both. Which of them, therefore will love him most?
43 Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
Simon replied, and said: I suppose he to whom most was released. Jesus said to him: Thou hast judged correctly.
44 And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.
Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
Thou didst not anoint my head with perfume; but she hath anointed my feet with perfumed ointment.
47 For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
I therefore say to thee: Her many sins are forgiven her, for she loveth much. But he, to whom little is forgiven, loveth little.
48 And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
And he said to the woman: Thy sins are forgiven thee.
49 And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
And they that were reclining, began to say in themselves: Who is this, that even forgiveth sins?
50 But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
And Jesus said to the woman: Thy faith hath given thee life. Go, in peace.
