Luke 7
1 When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.
When He completed all His words in the ears of the people, He came into Capernaum.
2 And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.
And the servant of a certain centurion, being sick, was about to die, who was precious to him.
3 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.
And hearing about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him that having come He may save his servant.
4 So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him:
And they, having come to Jesus, continued to entreat Him earnestly, saying, That he to whom He will do this is worthy:
5 For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.
for he loves our race, and himself built for us a synagogue.
6 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:
And Jesus went along with them. And already He being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, Lord, be not troubled: for I am not worthy that you may come in under my roof:
7 Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:
Therefore I did not count myself worthy to come to thee; but speak the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 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.
For I am also a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me: 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 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.
And Jesus, having heard these words, was astonished at him, and turning to the multitude following said, I say unto you, I did not find so great faith in Israel.
10 And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.
And those having been sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
11 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.
And it came to pass consecutively, He departed into a city called Nain; and His many disciples and a great multitude went along with Him.
12 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.
And when He drew nigh unto the gate of the city, behold, a dead man, an only born son to his mother, and she a widow, was indeed being carried out: and a great multitude of the city was along with her.
13 And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.
And the Lord seeing her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.
And having come forward He touched the bier: and the pall-bearers stood still: and He said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.
And the dead man sat up, and began to talk, and Ile gave him to his mother.
16 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.
And fear seized them all: and they continued to glorify God, saying that, A great prophet has arisen among us: and, God has looked upon His people.
17 And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.
And that word about Him went out in all Judea, and all the country round about.
18 And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.
And His disciples proclaimed to John concerning all these things.
19 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?
And John calling certain two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou the one coming, or must we expect another?
20 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?
And the men having come to Him, said; John the Baptist sent us to thee, saving; Art thou the one coming, or must we expect another?
21 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.
And at that hour He healed many of their diseases and ailments and evil spirits; and He conferred on many blind people the power to see.
22 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.
And Jesus responding said to them, Having gone, proclaim to John those things which you saw and heard; that the blind are seeing, the lame are walking about, the lepers are being cleansed, the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, the poor are having the gospel preached unto them;
23 And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
and happy is he whosoever may not be offended in me.
24 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?
And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind?
25 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.
But what went you out into the wilderness to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold those who are in gaudy apparel and luxury, are in royal palaces.
26 But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, and I say unto you even more than a prophet.
27 This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
This is he concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
28 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.
I say unto you, among those having been born of women no prophet is greater than John the Baptist; nevertheless the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.
And all the people hearing and the publicans justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
But the Pharisees and theologians rejected the counsel of God, against themselves, not having been baptized by him.
31 And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
Then to whom shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
32 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.
They are like unto little children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, We piped unto you, and you did not dance; we mourned unto you, and you did not weep.
33 For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.
For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a demon.
34 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:
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous wine-drinking man, a friend of publicans and sinners.
35 But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
Truly wisdom is justified by her children.
36 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.
And a certain one of the Pharisees, asked Him, that He would eat with him, and having come into the house of the Pharisee, He sat down to the table.
37 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.
Behold, a woman who was a sinner, in the city, also having learned that He is dining in the house of the Pharisee, breaking an alabaster box of myrrh,
38 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.
and standing behind by His feet, weeping, began to moisten His feel with tears, and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and she continued to copiously kiss His feet, and to anoint them with the myrrh.
39 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.
And the Pharisee, having invited Him, seeing, spoke within himself, saying, If He were a prophet, He would know who and what kind the woman is, who touches Him, because she is a sinner.
40 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
And Jesus responding said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, Speak, Teacher.
41 There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
There were two debtors to a certain creditor: the one owed him five hundred denaria, and the other fifty.
42 When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most?
And they not being able to pay, he forgave them both. Then which one of them will love him the more?
43 Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
Simon responding said, I perceive, that he, to whom he forgave the more. And He said to him, You answered correctly.
44 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.
And turning to the woman He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hairs.
45 Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
Thou gavest me no kiss: she, from the time I came in, did not cease copiously kissing my feet.
46 Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.
Thou didst not anoint my head with oil: but she anointed my feet with myrrh.
47 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.
Therefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth little.
48 And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
And He said to her; Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?
And those sitting along with Him began to say among themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.
And He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved them; go in peace.
