Luke 7

1And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capharnaum.

1After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2And the servant of a certain centurion who was dear to him, being sick, was ready to die.

2And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.

3And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.

3And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.

4And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him.

4And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;

5For he loveth our nation: and he hath built us a synagogue.

5for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.

6And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof.

6And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:

7For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

7wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

8For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: 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.

8For I also am a man set 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.

9Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.

9And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

10And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.

10And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.

11And it came to pass afterwards that he went into a city that is called Naim: and there went with him his disciples and a great multitude.

11And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.

12And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother: and she was a widow. And a great multitude of the city was with her.

12Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

13Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.

13And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

14And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.

14And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

15And he that was dead sat up and begun to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

15And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

16And there came a fear upon them all: and they glorified God saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.

16And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people.

17And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea and throughout all the country round about.

17And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judæa, and all the region round about.

18And John's disciples told him of all these things.

18And the disciples of John told him of all these things.

19And John called to him two of his disciples and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another?

19And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

20And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another?

20And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

21(And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases and hurts and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.)

21In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.

22And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached.

22And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.

23And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.

23And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.

24And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

25But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately are in the houses of kings.

25But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

26But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

26But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

27This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

27This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.

28For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of men, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

28I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

29And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John's baptism.

29And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

30But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.

30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.

31Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?

32They are like to children sitting in the marketplace and speaking one to another and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept.

32They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.

33For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine. And you say: He hath a devil.

33For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.

34The Son of man is come eating and drinking. And you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.

34The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

35And wisdom is justified by all her children.

35And wisdom is justified of all her children.

36And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee and sat down to meat.

36And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.

37And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment.

37And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,

38And standing behind at his feet. she began to wash his feet with tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

38and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

39And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were if a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.

39Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.

40And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.

40And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.

41A certain creditor had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence and the other fifty.

41A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.

42And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?

42When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?

43Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.

43Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

44And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house: thou gavest me no water for my feet. But she with tears hath washed my feet; and with her hairs hath wiped them.

44And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.

45Thou gavest me no kiss. But she, since she cane in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

45Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

46My head with oil thou didst not anoint. But she with ointment hath anointed my feet.

46My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.

47Wherefore, I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.

47Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

48And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.

48And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

49And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

49And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?

50And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe. Go in peace.

50And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
