Luke 7
1 When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.
When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.
And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
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 having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and 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 came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
5 For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.
for he loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
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 with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof;
7 Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:
on which account I did not think myself worthy to come to thee; but command with a word, and let my servant 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 even I am a man set 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 hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.
10 And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.
And they who were 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 the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
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 as he came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.
And when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for 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 he came up, and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Rise.
15 And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.
And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he 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 on all, and they gave glory to God, saying, A great prophet hath risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.
And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
18 And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.
And the disciples of John told him 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 calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for 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 came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for 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.
In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
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 he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;
23 And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling 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 when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds 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 have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings' palaces.
26 But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and 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 of whom it is written, “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall 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 to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is 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 when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by 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 the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.
31 And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what 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 children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye 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 hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath 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 hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
But wisdom is acknowledged by all 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 one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined at 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.
And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-bottle of ointment,
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 at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
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 who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for 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 answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
41 There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, 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?
When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?
43 Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
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, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.
46 Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.
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.
Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been 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 have been forgiven.
49 And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?
And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.
But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
