Luke 7
1 (And since *N+kO) He had completed all the declarations of Him in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum.
When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
2 Of a centurion then a certain servant sick being was about to die who was to him valued highly.
There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.
3 Having heard then about Jesus he sent to Him elders of the Jews begging Him that having come He may save the servant of him.
When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
4 And having come to Jesus they were begging Him earnestly saying that Worthy he is to whom (You will grant *N+KO) this;
They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
5 he loves for the nation of us and the synagogue he himself built for us.
for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
6 And Jesus was going with them. Already then when he not far being distant from the house sent (to him *ko) friends the centurion saying to Him; Lord, not do be troubled; not for worthy I am that under the roof of mine You may come,
So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
7 therefore neither myself counted I worthy to You to come. but do say a word, and (let be healed *N+kO) the servant of mine.
That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 Also for I myself a man am under authority appointed, having under myself soldiers. and I say to this [one]; do go, and he goes, and to another; do come, and he comes, and to the servant of mine; do enact this, and he enacts [it].
For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
9 Having heard then these things Jesus marveled at him; and having turned to the following Him crowd He said; I say to you, (not even *NK+o) in Israel such great faith did I find.
When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
10 And having returned to the house the [ones] having been sent found the (ailing *K) servant in good health.
And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
11 And it came to pass on (the *N+kO) next [day] (He went *N+kO) into a town being called Nain, and were going with Him the disciples of Him (many *K) and a crowd great.
Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
12 As then He drew near to the gate of the town, also behold was being carried out [one] having died only begotten son from the mother of him, and she was a widow; And a crowd of the town considerable was with her.
As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
13 And having seen her the Lord was moved with compassion on her and He said to her; Not do weep.
When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”
14 And having come up He touched the bier; those then bearing [it] stopped; And He said; Young man, to you I say, do be arised.
Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”
15 And sat up the dead [man] and began to speak. and He gave him to the mother of him.
And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 Seized then fear (all, *N+kO) and they were glorifying God saying that A prophet great (was raised up *N+kO) among us! and that Has visited God the people of Him!
A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”
17 And went out report this in all Judea concerning Him and (in *ko) in all the surrounding region.
And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
18 And brought word to John the disciples of him concerning all these things.
Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
19 And having called near two certain the disciples of him John sent [them] to the (Lord *N+KO) saying; You yourself are the coming [One], or (another *NK+o) are we to look for?
So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
20 Having come then to Him the men said; John the Baptist (has sent *N+kO) us to you saying; You yourself are the coming [One], or another are we to look for?
When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”
21 At (that very *N+kO) (now *k) hour He healed many of diseases and afflictions and spirits evil and to blind many He granted to see.
At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.
22 And answering (Jesus *k) He said to them; Having gone do relate to John what you have seen and heard: (that *ko) Blind receive sight, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, (and *no) deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelised,
So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
23 And blessed is who might not shall be offended in Me myself.
Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
24 When were departing then the messengers of John He began to speak to (the crowds *NK+o) concerning John: What (did you go out *N+kO) into the wilderness to see? A reed by [the] wind shaken?
After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
25 But what (have you gone out *N+kO) to see? A man in fine clothing arrayed? Behold those in clothing splendid and in luxury living in the palaces are.
Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.
26 But what (have you gone out *N+kO) to see? A prophet? Yes I say to you; and [one] more excellent than a prophet.
What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
27 This is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold (I myself *k) I send the messenger of Mine before [the] face of you who will prepare the way of You before You.’
This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
28 I say (for *k) to you; a greater among [those] born of women (prophet *KO) (than John *N+KO) no [one] is. yet the least in the kingdom of God greater than he is.
I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 And all the people having heard even the tax collectors declared as righteous God having been baptized [with] the baptism of John.
All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.
30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers the counsel of God rejected as to themselves not having been baptized by him.
But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
31 (said now Lord *K) To what therefore will I liken the men of the generation this And to what are they like?
“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?
32 Like are they to little children in the marketplace sitting and calling to each other (one *no) (and *k) (says: *N+k+o) We piped to you, and not you did dance; we sang a dirge (to you *k) and not you did weep.
They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
33 Has come for John the Baptist (neither *N+kO) eating bread nor drinking wine and you say; A demon He has.
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
34 Has come the Son of Man eating and drinking, and you say; Behold a man a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35 And was justified wisdom by all the children of her.
But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
36 Was asking now one Him of the Pharisees that He may eat with him. and having entered into (the house *N+kO) of the Pharisee (He was sat. *N+KO)
Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.
37 And behold a woman who was in the city a sinner. (And *no) she having known that (reclines back *N+kO) in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster flask of fragrant oil
When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.
38 and having stood behind at the feet of Him weeping with the tears she began to wet the feet of Him and with the hairs of the head of her she was wiping [them] and was kissing the feet of Him and was anointing [them] with the fragrant oil.
As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.
39 Having seen now the Pharisee the [one] having invited Him he spoke within himself saying; This if He was prophet, he have known then would who and what the woman [is] who touches Him for a sinner she is.
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”
40 And answering Jesus said to him; Simon, I have to you something to say. And; Teacher do say [it], he says.
But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
41 Two debtors there were to a creditor certain. the one was owing denarii five hundred, and the other fifty.
“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Nothing were having (now *k) they to pay to both he forgave. Which therefore of them (do tell *k) more will love him
When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”
43 Answering (now *ko) Simon said; I take it that [he] to whom the most he forgave. And He said to him; Rightly You have judged.
“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 And having turned to the woman to Simon He was saying; See you this the woman? I entered of you into the house, water to Me for (the *ko) feet (of mine *k) not you gave; with her however tears she wet My feet and with the hair (the head *K) of her wiped [them].
And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45 A kiss to Me not you gave; she herself however from which [time] I came in not she has ceased kissing My feet.
You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.
46 With oil the head of Mine not you did anoint; she herself however with fragrant oil anointed the feet of Mine.
You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.
47 of this Because I say to you, have been forgiven the sins of her many, for she loved much; to whom however little is forgiven, little he loves.
Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 He said then to her; Have been forgiven your sins.
Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 And began those reclining to say within themselves; Who this is who even sins forgives?
But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 He said then to the woman; The faith of You has saved you; do go in peace.
And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
