< Luke 7 >
1 After He had finished teaching all these things in the hearing of the people, He went into Capernaum.
(And since *N(k)O*) He had completed all the declarations of Him in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum.
2 Here the servant of a certain Captain, a man dear to his master, was ill and at the point of death;
Of a centurion then a certain servant sick being was about to die who was to him valued highly.
3 and the Captain, hearing about Jesus, sent to Him some of the Jewish Elders, begging Him to come and restore his servant to health.
Having heard then about Jesus he sent to Him elders of the Jews begging Him that having come He may save the servant of him.
4 And they, when they came to Jesus, earnestly entreated Him, pleading, "He deserves to have this favour granted him,
And having come to Jesus they were begging Him earnestly saying that Worthy he is to whom (You will grant *N(K)O*) this;
5 for he loves our nation, and at his own expense he built our synagogue for us."
he loves for the nation of us and the synagogue he himself built for us.
6 Then Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the Captain sent friends to Him with the message: "Sir, do not trouble to come. I am not worthy of having you come under my roof;
And Jesus was going with them. Already then when he not far being distant from the house sent (to him *ko*) friends the centurion saying to Him; Lord, not do be troubled; not for worthy I am that under the roof of mine You may come,
7 and therefore I did not deem myself worthy to come to you. Only speak the word, and let my young man be cured.
therefore neither myself counted I worthy to You to come. but do say a word, and (let be healed *N(k)O*) the servant of mine.
8 For I too am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this or that,' and he does it."
Also for I myself a man am under authority appointed, having under myself soldiers. and I say to this [one]; do go, and he goes, and to another; do come, and he comes, and to the servant of mine; do enact this, and he enacts [it].
9 Jesus listened to the Captain's message and was astonished at him, and He turned and said to the crowd that followed Him, "I tell you that not even in Israel have I found faith like that."
Having heard then these things Jesus marveled at him; and having turned to the following Him crowd He said; I say to you, (not even *NK(o)*) in Israel such great faith did I find.
10 And the friends who had been sent, on returning to the house, found the servant in perfect health.
And having returned to the house the [ones] having been sent found the (ailing *K*) servant in good health.
11 Shortly afterwards He went to a town called Nain, attended by His disciples and a great crowd of people.
And it came to pass on (the *N(k)O*) next [day] (He went *N(k)O*) into a town being called Nain, and were going with Him the disciples of Him (many *K*) and a crowd great.
12 And just as He reached the gate of the town, they happened to be bringing out for burial a dead man who was his mother's only son; and she was a widow; and a great number of the townspeople were with her.
As then He drew near to the gate of the town, also behold was being carried out [one] having died only begotten son from the mother of him, and she was a widow; And a crowd of the town considerable was with her.
13 The Lord saw her, was moved with pity for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."
And having seen her the Lord was moved with compassion on her and He said to her; Not do weep.
14 Then He went close and touched the bier, and the bearers halted. "Young man," He said, "I command you, wake!"
And having come up He touched the bier; those then bearing [it] stopped; And He said; Young man, to you I say, do be arised.
15 The dead man sat up and began to speak; and He restored him to his mother.
And sat up the dead [man] and began to speak. and He gave him to the mother of him.
16 All were awe-struck, and they gave glory to God--some saying, "A Prophet, a great Prophet, has risen up among us." Others said, "God has not forgotten His People."
Seized then fear (all, *N(k)O*) and they were glorifying God saying that A prophet great (was raised up *N(k)O*) among us! and that Has visited God the people of Him!
17 And the report of what Jesus had done spread through the whole of Judaea and in all the surrounding districts.
And went out report this in all Judea concerning Him and (in *ko*) in all the surrounding region.
18 John's disciples brought him an account of all these things;
And brought word to John the disciples of him concerning all these things.
19 so John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord. "Are you the Coming One?" he asked, "or is there another that we are to expect?"
And having called near two certain the disciples of him John sent [them] to the (Lord *N(K)O*) saying; You yourself are the coming [One], or (another *NK(o)*) are we to look for?
20 The men came to Jesus and said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you with this question: 'Are you the Coming One, or is there another that we are to expect?'"
Having come then to Him the men said; John the Baptist (has sent *N(k)O*) us to you saying; You yourself are the coming [One], or another are we to look for?
21 He immediately cured many of diseases, severe pain, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind He gave the gift of sight.
At (that very *N(k)O*) (now *k*) hour He healed many of diseases and afflictions and spirits evil and to blind many He granted (*k*) to see.
22 Then He answered the messengers, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard. Blind men receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are purified, deaf persons hear, the dead are raised to life, the poor have the Good News proclaimed to them.
And answering (Jesus *k*) He said to them; Having gone do relate to John what you have seen and heard: (that *ko*) Blind receive sight, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, (and *no*) deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelised,
23 And blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims."
And blessed is who might not shall be offended in Me myself.
24 When John's messengers were gone, He proceeded to say to the multitude concerning John, "What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at? A reed waving in the wind?
When were departing then the messengers of John He began to speak to (the crowds *NK(o)*) concerning John: What (did you go out *N(k)O*) into the wilderness to see? A reed by [the] wind shaken?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man wearing luxurious clothes? People who are gorgeously dressed and live in luxury are found in palaces.
But what (have you gone out *N(k)O*) to see? A man in fine clothing arrayed? Behold those in clothing splendid and in luxury living in the palaces are.
26 But what did you go out to see? A Prophet? Aye, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.
But what (have you gone out *N(k)O*) to see? A prophet? Yes I say to you; and [one] more excellent than a prophet.
27 John is the man about whom it is written, 'See, I am sending My messenger before thy face, and he shall make ready thy way before thee.'
This is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold (I myself *k*) I send the messenger of Mine before [the] face of you who will prepare the way of You before You.’
28 "I tell you that among all of women born there is not one greater than John. Yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.
I say (for *k*) to you; a greater among [those] born of women (prophet *KO*) (*k*) (than John *N(K)O*) no [one] is. yet the least in the kingdom of God greater than he is.
29 And all the people, including the tax-gatherers, when they listened to him upheld the righteousness of God, by being baptized with John's baptism.
And all the people having heard even the tax collectors declared as righteous God having been baptized [with] the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees and expounders of the Law have frustrated God's purpose as to their own lives, by refusing to be baptized.
but the Pharisees and the lawyers the counsel of God rejected as to themselves not having been baptized by him.
31 "To what then shall I compare the men of the present generation, and what do they resemble?
(said now Lord *K*) To what therefore will I liken the men of the generation this And to what are they like?
32 They are like children sitting in the public square and calling out to one another, 'We have played the flute to you, and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not shown sorrow.'
Like are they to little children in the marketplace sitting and calling to each other (one *no*) (and *k*) (says: *N(k)(o)*) We piped to you, and not you did dance; we sang a dirge (to you *k*) and not you did weep.
33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'
Has come for John the Baptist (neither *N(k)O*) eating bread nor drinking wine and you say; A demon He has.
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, there is a man who is overfond of eating and drinking--he is a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!'
Has come the Son of Man eating and drinking, and you say; Behold a man a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.
35 But wisdom is justified by all who are truly wise."
And was justified wisdom by all the children of her.
36 Now one of the Pharisees repeatedly invited Him to a meal at his house; so He entered the house and reclined at the table.
Was asking now one Him of the Pharisees that He may eat with him. and having entered into (the house *N(k)O*) of the Pharisee (He was sat. *N(K)O*)
37 And there was a woman in the town who was a notorious sinner. Having learnt that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house she brought a flask of perfume,
And behold a woman who was in the city a sinner. (And *no*) she having known that (reclines back *N(k)O*) in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster flask of fragrant oil
38 and, standing behind close to His feet, weeping, began to wet His feet with her tears; and with her hair she wiped the tears away again, while she lovingly kissed His feet and poured the perfume over them.
and having stood behind at the feet of Him weeping with the tears she began to wet the feet of Him and with the hairs of the head of her she was wiping [them] and was kissing the feet of Him and was anointing [them] with the fragrant oil.
39 Noticing this, the Pharisee, His host, said to himself, "This man, if he were really a Prophet, would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching him--and would know that she is an immoral woman."
Having seen now the Pharisee the [one] having invited Him he spoke within himself saying; This if He was (*o*) prophet, he have known then would who and what the woman [is] who touches Him for a sinner she is.
40 In answer to his thoughts Jesus said to him, "Simon, I have a word to say to you." "Rabbi, say on," he replied.
And answering Jesus said to him; Simon, I have to you something to say. And; Teacher do say [it], he says.
41 "There were once two men in debt to one money-lender," said Jesus; "one owed him five hundred shillings and the other fifty.
Two debtors there were to a creditor certain. the one was owing denarii five hundred, and the other fifty.
42 But neither of them could pay anything; so he freely forgave them both. Tell me, then, which of them will love him most?"
Nothing were having (now *k*) they to pay to both he forgave. Which therefore of them (do tell *k*) more will love him
43 "I suppose," replied Simon, "the one to whom he forgave most." "You have judged rightly," Jesus rejoined.
Answering (now *ko*) Simon said; I take it that [he] to whom the most he forgave. And He said to him; Rightly You have judged.
44 Then turning towards the woman He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house: you gave me no water for my feet; but she has made my feet wet with her tears, and then wiped the tears away with her hair.
And having turned to the woman to Simon He was saying; See you this the woman? I entered of you into the house, water to Me for (the *ko*) feet (of mine *k*) not you gave; with her however tears she wet My feet and with the hair (the head *K*) of her wiped [them].
45 No kiss did you give me; but she from the moment I came in has not left off tenderly kissing my feet.
A kiss to Me not you gave; she herself however from which [time] I came in not she has ceased kissing My feet.
46 No oil did you pour even on my head; but she has poured perfume upon my feet.
With oil the head of Mine not you did anoint; she herself however with fragrant oil anointed the feet of Mine.
47 This is the reason why I tell you that her sins, her many sins, are forgiven--because she has loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little."
of this Because I say to you, have been forgiven the sins of her many, for she loved much; to whom however little is forgiven, little he loves.
48 And He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
He said then to her; Have been forgiven your sins.
49 Then the other guests began to say to themselves, "Who can this man be who even forgives sins?"
And began those reclining to say within themselves; Who this is who even sins forgives?
50 But He said to the woman, "Your faith has cured you: go, and be at peace."
He said then to the woman; The faith of You has saved you; do go in peace.
