Luke 7
1 When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.
Now when He had finished his discourse in the audience of the people, He entered into Capernaum: and a certain centurion's servant,
2 And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.
whom he had a great value for, was ill and ready 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 of Jesus, he sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that He would come and heal 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 when they came to Jesus, they intreated Him earnestly, saying, he is worthy of this favor:
5 For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.
for he loveth our nation, and hath built 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:
So Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to Him, saying Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:
neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee. But speak the word, and my servant will be recovered.
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 also am a man placed under the authority of others, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth 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 when Jesus heard these things, He marvelled, and turning about, said to the multitude that followed Him, I declare unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.
And when they that were sent, returned to the house, they found the servant well, that had been sick.
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 the day after He went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with Him, and a great multitude besides:
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 to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carrying out to be buried, his mother's only son, and she was a widow: and many of the people of the city were 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, Do not weep.
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 the bearers stopped, ) 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 person sat up, and began to speak: and He delivered 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 an awe seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, a great prophet is 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 of Him was spread through all Judea, and in all the country round about.
18 And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.
And the disciples of John told him of all these things: so John called two of his disciples to him,
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 sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to 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 came to Him, and said, John the baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to 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.
(Now at that very time He cured many of their diseases and plagues, and of evil spirits, and gave sight to many that were blind.)
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 answering said unto them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them,
23 And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
and happy is he who shall not be offended at any thing 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?
When the messengers of John were departed, He began to speak unto the people concerning John, what went ye out into the wilderness to see?
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.
a reed shaken by the wind? but what did ye go out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that are dressed in fine clothes and live delicately, are in palaces, not in deserts: but what went ye out to see?
26 But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
a prophet? yea, I say unto you, and much 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, "Behold 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.
for I tell you that among the sons of men there is not a greater prophet than John the baptist: (though 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 that heard him, even 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 indeed and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God within themselves, and were not baptized by him.---
31 And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
Whereunto therefore shall I compare the men of this generation?
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.
and to what are they like? they are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, "We have played pleasant tunes to you, and ye have not danced; we have sung mournful ones and ye have not wept:"
33 For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.
for John the baptist came neither 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 is come eating and drinking like other men, and ye call Him a gluttonous man and a wine bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners.
35 But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
But wisdom is justified 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 sat down.
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 behold a woman in the city, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,
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.
brought an alabaster-box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind Him, weeping, and washed his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs 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.
But when the pharisee that invited Him saw it, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of a woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a notorious 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 said unto him, Simon, I have something to say to thee: (and he replied, Master, say on.)
41 There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed him 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?
and they not being able to pay him, he freely forgave them both: tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
And Simon answered, I suppose he to whom he forgave most. And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged:
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, Dost thou see this woman? I came into thine house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she has bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
Thou gavest me not the respect of a kiss; but this woman, ever since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss 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 common oil, but she hath anointed even my feet with sweet 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 tell thee, her sins though many are forgiven, for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth but little.
48 And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
And He said unto 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 they that sat at table with Him, said within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
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.
