Luke 7
1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in 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, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.
And the servant of a centurion, who was dear to him, was very sick, and near to death.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
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 when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should 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 he hath built us a synagogue.
for he loveth our nation, and hath also built us a house of assembly.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
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 Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall 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 also am a man placed under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to 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 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned himself about, and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
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 that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.
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 the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.
And the following day, he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were 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 when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.
And Jesus looked upon her, and had compassion on her; and he said to her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, 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 he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
And the dead man sat up, and began to speak: and he delivered him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet hath risen among us; and, That 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 rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the surrounding region.
And that saying respecting him went out through all Judaea and all the surrounding region.
18 And the disciples of John reported to him of all these things.
And the disciples of John told him all these things.
19 And John calling two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
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 When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
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 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and afflictions, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight.
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 Then Jesus answering said to them, Go, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
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 blessed is he, who shall not be offended because of me.
and blessed is he that is not stumbled in me.
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
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 out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ 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 out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much 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, Behold, I send 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 For I say to you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: 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 that heard him, and the tax collectors, justified God, being baptized with the baptism 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 lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.
But the Pharisees and Scribes rejected the good pleasure of God, against themselves; as they were not baptized by him.
31 And the Lord said, To what then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
To what, therefore, shall I compare this generation? and to what are they like?
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, 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.
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 Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
For John the Baptizer came, not eating bread, and not drinking wine; and ye say: He hath a demon.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, 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 But wisdom is justified by all her children.
But wisdom is justified by all her children.
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat.
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, behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
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 stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
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 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for 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 Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Master, say it.
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 There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, 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 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
And as they had not the means of pay, he released them both. Which of them, therefore will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Simon replied, and said: I suppose he to whom most was released. Jesus said to him: Thou hast judged correctly.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
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 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Thou didst not anoint my head with perfume; but she hath anointed my feet with perfumed ointment.
47 Therefore I say to thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
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 to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
And he said to the woman: Thy sins are forgiven thee.
49 And they that were eating with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
And they that were reclining, began to say in themselves: Who is this, that even forgiveth sins?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
And Jesus said to the woman: Thy faith hath given thee life. Go, in peace.
