And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
And a certain centurion's bondman faring badly was going to perish, who was esteemed by him.
3 But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
And having heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him who asked him that, having come, he would save his bondman.
4 And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
And when they came to Jesus they urged him earnestly, saying, He is worthy for whom thou may offer this,
5 for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
for he loves our nation, and he himself built the synagogue for us.
6 And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far distant from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof.
7 Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Therefore neither did I consider myself worthy to come to thee, but speak by word, and my boy will be healed.
8 For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; 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.
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.
9 And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled him, and having turned around to the multitude who followed him, he said, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.
10 And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
And those who were sent, having returned to the house, found the bondman who was feeble, being well.
11 And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
And it came to pass on the next day that he went to a city called Nain, and a considerable number of his disciples went with him, also a large multitude.
12 Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.
Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, an only begotten son who died was being carried out for his mother. And she was a widow, and a considerable crowd of the city was with her.
13 And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
And when the Lord saw her, he felt compassion toward her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 And, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, Arise!
And having come, he touched the coffin, and the men carrying it stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, arise.
15 And the dead man sat up, and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath visited his people!
And fear seized all. And they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised among us, and, God came to help his people.

18 And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
And the disciples of John informed him about all these things.
19 And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
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?
20 And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
And when they came to him, they said, John the immerser has sent us to thee, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
21 In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
And in the same hour he healed many from diseases and plagues and evil spirits. And he granted sight to many blind men.
22 And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
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.
23 And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
And blessed is he, whoever will not be offended by me.

And after John's messengers departed, he began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.
But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those in elegant clothing, and existing in luxury, are in kingly places.
26 But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly more than a prophet.
But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This, is he concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
This is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
28 I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
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.
29 And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors who were immersed the immersion of John, justified God.
30 but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.

33 For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
For John the immerser has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
34 The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!

36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
And a certain man of the Pharisees asked him that he would eat with him. And having entered into the Pharisee's house, he sat down.
37 And, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
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,
38 and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
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.
39 But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.
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.
40 And, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.

41 Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, and, the other, fifty.

42 they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
And of them not having to repay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore, do thou say, will love him more?
43 Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
And having answered, Simon said, I suppose that it was to whom he forgave more. And he said to him, Thou have judged correctly.
44 And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
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.
45 A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.
Thou gave me no kiss, but this woman, since I came in, has not ceased kissing my feet much.
46 With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
Thou did not anoint my head with olive oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
For this reason I say to thee, her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, loves little.
48 And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
And those who sat together began to say within themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?
50 But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee. Go in peace.
