| |
| | Luk 7:1 | And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
| |
| | Luk 7:2 | And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;
| |
| | Luk 7:3 | and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.
| |
| | Luk 7:4 | But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,
| |
| | Luk 7:5 | for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
| |
| | Luk 7:6 | And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
| |
| | Luk 7:7 | Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.
| |
| | Luk 7:8 | For *I* also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].
| |
| | Luk 7:9 | And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
| |
| | Luk 7:10 | And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
| |
| | Luk 7:11 | And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
| |
| | Luk 7:12 | And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her.
| |
| | Luk 7:13 | And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;
| |
| | Luk 7:14 | and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
| |
| | Luk 7:15 | And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
| |
| | Luk 7:16 | And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.
| |
| | Luk 7:17 | And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
| |
| | Luk 7:18 | And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
| |
| | Luk 7:19 | and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art *thou* he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
| |
| | Luk 7:20 | But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art *thou* he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
| |
| | Luk 7:21 | In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
| |
| | Luk 7:22 | And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;
| |
| | Luk 7:23 | and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
| |
| | Luk 7:24 | And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?
| |
| | Luk 7:25 | But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.
| |
| | Luk 7:26 | But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.
| |
| | Luk 7:27 | This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, *I* send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
| |
| | Luk 7:28 | for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater [prophet] is no one than John [the baptist]; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
| |
| | Luk 7:29 | (And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;
| |
| | Luk 7:30 | but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
| |
| | Luk 7:31 | To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
| |
| | Luk 7:32 | They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
| |
| | Luk 7:33 | For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
| |
| | Luk 7:34 | The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
| |
| | Luk 7:35 | and wisdom has been justified of all her children.
| |
| | Luk 7:36 | But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;
| |
| | Luk 7:37 | and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,
| |
| | Luk 7:38 | and standing at his feet behind [him] weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the myrrh.
| |
| | Luk 7:39 | And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.
| |
| | Luk 7:40 | And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].
| |
| | Luk 7:41 | There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;
| |
| | Luk 7:42 | but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say,] which of them therefore will love him most?
| |
| | Luk 7:43 | And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
| |
| | Luk 7:44 | And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but *she* has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
| |
| | Luk 7:45 | Thou gavest me not a kiss, but *she* from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.
| |
| | Luk 7:46 | My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but *she* has anointed my feet with myrrh.
| |
| | Luk 7:47 | For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.
| |
| | Luk 7:48 | And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
| |
| | Luk 7:49 | And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?
| |
| | Luk 7:50 | And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
