Luke 7
1 And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;
When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.
2 and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.
3 and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.
And when he heard of Iesus, hee sent vnto him the Elders of the Iewes, beseeching him that he would come, and heale his seruant.
4 And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying — 'He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,
So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him:
5 for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'
For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.
6 And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;
Then Iesus went with them: but when he was now not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to him, saying vnto him, Lord, trouble not thy selfe: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe:
7 wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;
Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:
8 for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [it].'
For I likewise am a man set vnder authoritie, and haue vnder mee souldiers, and I say vnto one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it.
9 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 so much faith did I find;'
When Iesus heard these things, he marueiled at him, and turned him, and said to the people, that followed him, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.
11 And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,
And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
12 and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, 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.
Nowe when hee came neere to the gate of the citie, behold, there was a dead man caried out, who was the onely begotten sonne of his mother, which was a widowe, and much people of the citie was with her.
13 And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, 'Be not weeping;'
And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.
14 and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing [it] stood still, and he said, 'Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'
And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.
15 and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;
And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.
16 and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying — 'A great prophet hath risen among us,' and — 'God did look upon His people.'
Then there came a feare on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among vs, and God hath visited his people.
17 And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.
And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.
19 and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, 'Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
20 And having come near to him, the men said, 'John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
21 And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.
22 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
23 and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.'
And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
24 And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: 'What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken?
And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
25 but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.
26 'But what have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:
But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
27 this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.'
For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.
29 And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,
Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.
30 but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
31 And the Lord said, 'To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
32 they are like to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!
They are like vnto litle children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wept.
33 'For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a demon;
For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.
34 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
The Sonne of man is come, and eateth and drinketh: and ye say, Beholde, a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of Publicanes and sinners:
35 and the wisdom was justified from all her children.'
But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
36 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 (at meat),
And one of the Pharises desired him that hee would eate with him: and hee went into the Pharises house, and sate downe at table.
37 and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
And beholde, a woman in the citie, which was a sinner, when she knewe that Iesus sate at table in the Pharises house, shee brought a boxe of oyntment.
38 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.
And shee stoode at his feete behinde him weeping, and began to wash his feete with teares, and did wipe them with the heares of her head, and kissed his feete, and anoynted them with the oyntment.
39 And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, 'This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.'
Nowe when the Pharise which bade him, saw it, he spake within himselfe, saying, If this man were a Prophet, hee woulde surely haue knowen who, and what maner of woman this is which toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, 'Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, 'Teacher, say on.'
And Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
41 'Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty;
There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
42 and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?'
When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most?
43 And Simon answering said, 'I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, 'Rightly thou didst judge.'
Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
44 And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, 'Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;
Then he turned to the woman, and said vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entred into thine house, and thou gauest mee no water to my feete: but she hath washed my feete with teares, and wiped them with the heares of her head.
45 a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;
Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
46 with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;
Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.
47 therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'
Wherefore I say vnto thee, many sinnes are forgiuen her: for she loued much. To whom a litle is forgiuen, he doeth loue a litle.
48 And he said to her, 'Thy sins have been forgiven;'
And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
49 and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, 'Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'
And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?
50 and he said unto the woman, 'Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.
