Luke 7

Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant

1

 aWheng1894 He had completedg4137 allg3956 His discourseg4487 in the hearingg189 of the peopleg2992,  bHe wentg1525 to Capernaumg2746b.

2

And a centurion'sg1543 slaveg1401,  1whog3739 was highlyg1784 regardedg1784 by him, was sickg2560 and aboutg3195 to dieg5053.

3

When he heardg191 aboutg4012 Jesusg2424,  ahe sentg649 some  1Jewishg2453 eldersg4245 askingg2065 Him to comeg2064 and  2saveg1295 the lifeg1295 of his slaveg1401.

4

When they cameg3854 to Jesusg2424, they earnestlyg4709 imploredg3870 Him, sayingg3004, "He is worthyg514 for You to grantg3930 thisg3778 to him;

5

for he lovesg25 our nationg1484 and it was he who builtg3618 us our synagogueg4864."

6

Nowg1161 Jesusg2424 started on His wayg4198 with them; and when He was not farg3112 from the houseg3614, the centuriong1543 sentg3992 friendsg5384, sayingg3004 to Him, " 1Lordg2962, do not troubleg4660 Yourself further, for I amg1510 not worthyg2425 for You to comeg1525 underg5259 my roofg4721;

7

for thisg1352 reasong1352 I did not eveng3761 considerg515 myselfg1683 worthyg515 to comeg2064 to You, but just  1sayg3004 the wordg3056, and my  2servantg3816 will be healedg2390.

8

"For I alsog2532 amg1510 a mang444 placed underg5259 authorityg1849, with soldiersg4757 underg5259 me; and I sayg3004 to thisg3778 oneg3778, `Gog4198!' and he goesg4198, and to anotherg243, `Comeg2064!' and he comesg2064, and to my slaveg1401, `Dog4160 thisg3778!' and he doesg4160 it."

9

Nowg1161 when Jesusg2424 heardg191 thisg3778, He marveledg2296 at him, and turnedg4762 and saidg3004 to the crowdg3793 that was followingg190 Him, "I sayg3004 to you,  anot eveng3761 in Israelg2474 have I foundg2147 suchg5118 greatg5118 faithg4102."

10

When thoseg3588 who had been sentg3992 returnedg5290 to the houseg3624, they foundg2147 the slaveg1401 in goodg5198 healthg5198.

11

Soong1836 afterwardsg1722g1836 He wentg4198 to a cityg4172 calledg2564 Naing3484; and His disciplesg3101 were goingg4848 alongg4848 with Him,  1accompaniedg2532 by a largeg4183 crowdg3793.

12

Nowg1161 as He approachedg1448 the gateg4439 of the cityg4172,  1a deadg2348 man was being carriedg1580 out, the  2onlyg3439 song5207 of his motherg3384, and she was a widowg5503; and a sizeableg2425 crowdg3793 from the cityg4172 was with her.

13

When  athe Lordg2962 sawg3708 her, He feltg4697 compassiong4697 for her, and saidg3004 to her, 1Do not weepg2799."

14

And He cameg4334 up and touchedg681 the coffing4673; and the bearersg941 cameg2476 to a haltg2476. And He saidg3004, "Youngg3495 mang3495, I sayg3004 to you, ariseg1453!"

15

The  1deadg3498 mang3498 satg339 up and begang757 to speakg2980. And Jesus gaveg1325 him back to his motherg3384.

16

 aFearg5401 grippedg2983 them allg3956, and they began  bglorifyingg1392 Godg2316, sayingg3004, "A greatg3173  cprophetg4396 has ariseng1453 amongg1722 us!" and, "Godg2316 has  1visitedg1980a His peopleg2992!"

17

 aThisg3778 reportg3056 concerningg4012 Him wentg1831 out allg3650 overg1722 Judeag2453 and in allg3956 the surroundingg4066 districtg4066.

A Deputation from John

18

 aThe disciplesg3101 of Johng2491 reportedg518 to him aboutg4012 allg3956 theseg3778 thingsg3778.

19

Summoningg4341  1twog1417 of his disciplesg3101, Johng2491 sentg3992 them to  athe Lordg2962, sayingg3004, "Are You the  2Expectedg2064 One, org2228 do we lookg4328 for someoneg243 elseg243?"

20

When the meng435 cameg3854 to Him, they saidg3004, "Johng2491 the Baptistg910 has sentg649 us to You, to askg3004, `Are You the  1Expectedg2064 One, org2228 do we lookg4328 for someoneg243 elseg243?' "

21

At that  1very timeg5610 He  acuredg2323 manyg4183 people of diseasesg3554 and  bafflictionsg3148 and evilg4190 spiritsg4151; and He gaveg5483 sightg991 to manyg4183 who were blindg5185.

22

And He answeredg611 and saidg3004 to them, "Gog4198 and reportg518 to Johng2491 whatg3739 you have seeng3708 and heardg191: the  aBLINDg5185 RECEIVEg308 SIGHTg308, the lameg5560 walkg4043, the lepersg3015 are cleansedg2511, and the deafg2974 hearg191, the deadg3498 are raisedg1453 up, the  bPOORg4434 HAVE THE GOSPELg2097 PREACHEDg2097 TO THEM.

23

"Blessedg3107 is he  1whog3739 does not takeg4624 offense at Me."

24

When the messengersg32a of Johng2491 had leftg565, He begang757 to speakg3004 to the crowdsg3793 aboutg4012 Johng2491, "Whatg5101 did you gog1831 out into the wildernessg2048 to seeg2300? A reedg2563 shakeng4531 by the windg417?

25

1But whatg5101 did you gog1831 out to seeg3708? A mang444 dressedg294 in softg3120  2clothingg2440? Thoseg3588 who are splendidlyg1741 clothedg2441 and liveg5225 in luxuryg5172 are found in royalg933 palacesg933!

26

"But whatg5101 did you gog1831 out to seeg3708? A prophetg4396? Yesg3483a, I sayg3004 to you, and one who is moreg4053 than a prophetg4396.

27

"Thisg3778 is the one aboutg4012 whomg3739 it is writteng1125, aBEHOLDg2400, I SENDg649 MY MESSENGERg32a  1AHEADg4253 OF YOU, WHOg3739 WILL PREPAREg2680 YOUR WAYg3598 BEFOREg1715 YOU.'

28

"I sayg3004 to you, amongg1722 those borng1084 of womeng1135 there is nog3762 oneg3762 greaterg3173 than Johng2491; yetg1161 he who is  1leastg3398 in the kingdomg932 of Godg2316 is greaterg3173 than he."

29

When allg3956 the peopleg2992 and the taxg5057 collectorsg5057 heardg191 this, they  1acknowledgedg1344  aGod'sg2316 justiceg1344,  bhaving been baptizedg907 with  cthe baptismg908 of Johng2491.

30

But the Phariseesg5330 and the  1 alawyersg3544 rejectedg114 God'sg2316 purposeg1012 for themselvesg1438, not having been baptizedg907 by  2John.

31

"To whatg5101 theng3767 shall I compareg3666 the meng444 of thisg3778 generationg1074, and whatg5101 are they likeg3664?

32

"They are likeg3664 childreng3813 who sitg2521 in the marketg58 placeg58 and callg4377 to oneg240 anotherg240, and they sayg3004, `We playedg832 the fluteg832 for you, and you did not danceg3738; we sangg2354 a dirgeg2354, and you did not weepg2799.'

33

"For Johng2491 the Baptistg910 has comeg2064  aeatingg2068 nog3361 breadg740 and drinkingg4095 nog3383 wineg3631, and you sayg3004, `He hasg2192 a demong1140!'

34

"The Song5207 of Mang444 has comeg2064 eatingg2068 and drinkingg4095, and you sayg3004, `Beholdg2400, a gluttonousg5314 mang444 and a  1drunkardg3630, a friendg5384 of taxg5057 collectorsg5057 and  2sinnersg268!'

35

"Yetg2532 wisdomg4678  ais vindicatedg1344 by allg3956 her childreng5043."

36

Nowg1161 oneg5100 of the Phariseesg5330 was requestingg2065 Him to  1dineg2068 with him, and He enteredg1525 the Pharisee'sg5330 houseg3624 and reclinedg2625 at the table.

37

 aAnd there was a womang1135 in the cityg4172 whog3748 was a  1sinnerg268; and when she learnedg1921 that He was recliningg2621 at the table in the Pharisee'sg5330 houseg3614, she broughtg2865 an alabasterg211 vialg211 of perfumeg3464,

38

and standingg2476 behindg3694 Him at His feetg4228, weepingg2799, she begang757 to wetg1026 His feetg4228 with her tearsg1144, and kept wipingg1591 them with the hairg2359 of her headg2776, and kissingg2705 His feetg4228 and anointingg218b them with the perfumeg3464.

39

Nowg1161 when the Phariseeg5330 who had invitedg2564 Him sawg3708 this, he saidg3004 to himselfg1438, "Ifg1487 thisg3778 mang3778 were  aa prophetg4396 He would knowg1097 whog5101 and whatg4217 sortg4217 of persong4217 thisg3588 womang1135 is whog3748 is touchingg681 Him, that she is a  1sinnerg268."

Parable of Two Debtors

40

And Jesusg2424 answeredg611 him, "Simong4613, I haveg2192 somethingg5100 to sayg3004 to you." And he  1repliedg5346, "Sayg3004 it, Teacherg1320."

41

"A moneylenderg1157 hadg1510 twog1417 debtorsg5533: oneg1520 owedg3784 fiveg4001 hundredg4001  1 adenariig1220, and the otherg2087 fiftyg4004.

42

"When they  awere unableg3361g2192 to repayg591, he graciouslyg5483 forgaveg5483 them bothg297. Sog3767 whichg5101 of them will loveg25 him moreg4183?"

43

Simong4613 answeredg611 and saidg3004, "I supposeg5274 the one whomg3739 he forgaveg5483 moreg4183." And He saidg3004 to him, "You have judgedg2919 correctlyg3723."

44

Turningg4762 towardg4314 the womang1135, He saidg5346 to Simong4613, "Do you seeg991 thisg3778 womang1135? I enteredg1525 your houseg3614; you  agaveg1325 Me nog3756 waterg5204 for My feetg4228, but she has wetg1026 My feetg4228 with her tearsg1144 and wipedg1591 them with her hairg2359.

45

"You  agaveg1325 Me nog3756 kissg5370; but she, sinceg575 the time I cameg1525 in, has not ceasedg1257 to kissg2705 My feetg4228.

46

aYou did not anointg218b My headg2776 with oilg1637, but she anointedg218b My feetg4228 with perfumeg3464.

47

"For thisg3739 reasong5484 I sayg3004 to you, her sinsg266, which are manyg4183, have been forgiveng863, for she lovedg25 muchg4183; but he whog3739 is forgiveng863 littleg3641, lovesg25 littleg3641."

48

Theng2532 He saidg3004 to her, aYour sinsg266 have been forgiveng863."

49

Thoseg3588 who were recliningg4873 at the table with Him begang757 to sayg3004  1to themselvesg1438, " aWhog5101 is thisg3778 man whog3739 eveng2532 forgivesg863 sinsg266?"

50

And He saidg3004 to the womang1135, aYour faithg4102 has savedg4982 you;  bgog4198 in peaceg1515."
