Luke 7

CHAPTER 7

The Believing Centurion

1And when he fulfilled all   his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2[⁴of a centurion ¹And ²a certain ³servant ⁶an illness ⁵having], about to come to an end, who was of value to him; 3and having heard concerning   Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him that having come he should preserve   his servant. 4And the ones having come to   Jesus, appealed to him diligently, saying that, [⁵worthy ⁴is ¹The one whom ²he shall grant ³this]. 5For he loves   our nation; and the synagogue he himself built for us. 6  And Jesus went with them; but already he not being  far at a distance from the house, [³sent forth ⁵to ⁶him ¹the ²centurion ⁴friends], saying to him, O Lord, be not inconvenienced! for not am I fit that [²under   ³my roof ¹you should enter]. 7Therefore not even myself I deem worthy [²to ³you ¹to come], but say the word! and [²shall be healed   ¹my servant]. 8For also I am a man [²under ³authority ¹ordering], having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go! and he goes; and to another, Come! and he comes; and to  my servant, Do this! and he does. 9And hearing these things    Jesus marveled at him; and turning to  [²following ³him ¹the multitude] said, I say to you, not even in   Israel [²so great ³a belief ¹found I]. 10And [³having returned ¹the ones ²having been sent forth] unto the house, found the weakened servant being in health.

The Widow's Son Raised to Life

11And it came to pass in the next place, he went into a city being called Nain; and going with him   [²of his disciples ¹were a fit amount], and [²multitude ¹a great]. 12And as he approached to the gate of the city, that behold, [²was conveyed ¹one having died], a son, an only child   of his mother, and she was a widow; and a multitude of the city, a fit amount  was with her. 13And beholding her, the Lord was moved with compassion over her, and he said to her, Do not weep! 14And coming forward he touched the coffin, and the ones bearing it  stopped. And he said, O young man, to you I say, Arise! 15And [³sat erect ¹the ²dead one], and began to speak; and he gave him to  his mother. 16[³took hold  ¹And ²fear] of all, and they glorified   God, saying that, [²prophet ¹A great] has been risen up among us; and that, God visited   his people. 17And went forth   this word in the whole   of Judea concerning him, and in all the place round about.

John the Baptist Sends Disciples to Jesus

18And [²reported ³to John,   ¹his disciples], concerning all these things. 19And calling on a certain two   of his disciples,   John sent them forth to   Jesus, saying, Are you the coming one, or another should we expect? 20And having come to him, the men said, John the baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you the coming one, or another should we expect? 21[²in ³the same ¹And]   hour he cured many from diseases, and scourges, and [²spirits ¹evil]; and [²blind ¹to many] he granted   to see. 22And answering   Jesus said to them, Having gone, report to John what you saw and heard! that blind gained sight, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf-mutes hear, dead are raised, poor are being announced good news; 23and blessed is who ever should not be stumbled in me. 24[⁵having gone forth ¹And ²the ³messengers ⁴of John], he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What have you come forth into the wilderness to view? A reed by the wind being shaken? 25But what have you come forth to behold? A man in soft garments being clothed? Behold, the ones in [²clothes ¹noble] and [²in luxury ¹existing ⁴in ⁵the ⁶palaces ³are]. 26But what have you come forth to behold? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more extra a prophet. 27This is he concerning of which it has been written, Behold, I send   my messenger before your face, who shall carefully prepare   your way before you. 28For I say to you, a greater [²among ¹born] women than the prophet John the baptist no one is. But the lesser in the kingdom   of God [²greater ³than he ¹is]. 29And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors, justified   God, having been immersed in the immersion of John. 30But the Pharisees and the legal experts, the counsel   of God, disregarded for themselves, not having been immersed by him. 31What then shall I liken the men   of this generation? and to what are they likened? 32They are likened to children, to the ones in the market sitting down, and calling out to one another, and they say, We piped to you, and you danced not; we lamented to you, and you wept not. 33[⁵has come ¹For ²John ³the ⁴baptist] neither [²bread ¹eating] nor [²wine ¹drinking]; and you say, [²a demon ¹He has]. 34[⁴has come ¹The ²son   ³of man] eating and drinking; and you say, Behold, a man glutton, and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. 35And [²was justified   ¹wisdom] by   [²her children ¹all].

A Woman Anoints Jesus' Feet

36[⁵asked ¹And ²a certain one ⁶him ³of the ⁴Pharisees] that he should eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined. 37And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, realizing that he reclined in the house of the Pharisee, carried an alabaster jar  of perfumed liquid, 38and stationed by   his feet behind weeping, began to rain   his feet with  tears, and with the hair   of her head she wiped clean and kissed   his feet, and anointed with the perfumed liquid. 39And beholding, the Pharisee   having invited him, said to himself, saying, If this one was a prophet, he would have known who and what kind   of woman she is who touches him, that she is a sinner. 40And responding   Jesus said to him, Simon, I have [³to you ¹something ²to say]. And he says, Teacher, speak! 41[²two ³debtors ¹There were] to a certain money-lender; the one owed [²denarii ¹five hundred], and the other fifty. 42[³not ⁴having anything ¹And ²they] to give back, both he granted pardon. Which then of them, tell, [²more ¹loves him]? 43And answering   Simon said, I undertake that to whom the more he granted pardon. And he said to him, Rightly you judged. 44And having turned to the woman,   he said to Simon, You see this   woman? I entered into your   house, water for   my feet you gave not; but she   [²tears ¹rained] for my   feet, and with the hair   of her head wiped clean. 45[⁴a kiss ³to me ¹You did not ²give]; but this woman from which time  I entered, stopped not kissing my   feet. 46[³with oil   ²my head ¹You anointed not]; but she with perfumed liquid anointed my   feet. 47Of which favor, I say to you, [⁴have been forgiven   ³sins ¹her   ²many], for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, [²little ¹loves]. 48And he said to her, [⁴have been forgiven ³of you ¹The ²sins]. 49And [³began ¹the ones ²reclining together with him] to say among themselves, Who is this who even [²sins ¹forgives]? 50And he said to the woman, the belief of yours has delivered you, go in peace!
