2 And a certain centurion's bondman faring badly was going to perish, who was esteemed by him.

Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7 Therefore neither did I consider myself worthy to come to thee, but speak by word, and my boy will be healed.
Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this man, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my bondman, Do this, and he does.
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

19 And having summoned a certain two of his disciples, John sent them to Jesus, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”

When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21 And in the same hour he healed many from diseases and plagues and evil spirits. And he granted sight to many blind men.
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye saw and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor are preached good news.
Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26 But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 For I say to you, among men born of women there is not one prophet greater than John the immerser, yet the smaller in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29 And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors who were immersed the immersion of John, justified God.
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers who were not immersed by him, rejected the purpose of God for themselves.

33 For John the immerser has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

37 And behold, a woman in the city who was sinful. And when she knew that he sat in the Pharisee's house, having brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 and having stood behind near his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. And she kissed his feet much, and anointed them with the ointment.
Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 But when the Pharisee who invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind the woman is who touches him, that she is sinful.
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40 And having responded, Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, speak Teacher.
Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”

42 And of them not having to repay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore, do thou say, will love him more?
When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 And having answered, Simon said, I suppose that it was to whom he forgave more. And he said to him, Thou have judged correctly.
Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 And having turned to the woman, he said to Simon, See thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gave no water for my feet. But this woman has wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 Thou gave me no kiss, but this woman, since I came in, has not ceased kissing my feet much.
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Thou did not anoint my head with olive oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.
You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 For this reason I say to thee, her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, loves little.
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 And those who sat together began to say within themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?
Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee. Go in peace.
He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
