Luke 7

GNT

1 ἐπειδὴ ἐπλήρωσεν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς τοῦ λαοῦ, εἰσῆλθεν εἰς καφαρναούμ.

2 ἑκατοντάρχου δέ τινος δοῦλος κακῶς ἔχων ἤμελλεν τελευτᾶν, ὃς ἦν αὐτῶ ἔντιμος.

3 ἀκούσας δὲ περὶ τοῦ ἰησοῦ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν πρεσβυτέρους τῶν ἰουδαίων, ἐρωτῶν αὐτὸν ὅπως ἐλθὼν διασώσῃ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ.

4 οἱ δὲ παραγενόμενοι πρὸς τὸν ἰησοῦν παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν σπουδαίως, λέγοντες ὅτι ἄξιός ἐστιν ᾧ παρέξῃ τοῦτο,

5 ἀγαπᾷ γὰρ τὸ ἔθνος ἡμῶν καὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησεν ἡμῖν.

6 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς ἐπορεύετο σὺν αὐτοῖς. ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος ἀπὸ τῆς οἰκίας ἔπεμψεν φίλους ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης λέγων αὐτῶ, κύριε, μὴ σκύλλου, οὐ γὰρ ἱκανός εἰμι ἵνα ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην μου εἰσέλθῃς·

7 διὸ οὐδὲ ἐμαυτὸν ἠξίωσα πρὸς σὲ ἐλθεῖν· ἀλλὰ εἰπὲ λόγῳ, καὶ ἰαθήτω ὁ παῖς μου.

8 καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος, ἔχων ὑπ᾽ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας, καὶ λέγω τούτῳ, πορεύθητι, καὶ πορεύεται, καὶ ἄλλῳ, ἔρχου, καὶ ἔρχεται, καὶ τῶ δούλῳ μου, ποίησον τοῦτο, καὶ ποιεῖ.

9 ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασεν αὐτόν, καὶ στραφεὶς τῶ ἀκολουθοῦντι αὐτῶ ὄχλῳ εἶπεν, λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ ἐν τῶ ἰσραὴλ τοσαύτην πίστιν εὖρον.

10 καὶ ὑποστρέψαντες εἰς τὸν οἶκον οἱ πεμφθέντες εὖρον τὸν δοῦλον ὑγιαίνοντα.

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῶ ἑξῆς ἐπορεύθη εἰς πόλιν καλουμένην ναΐν, καὶ συνεπορεύοντο αὐτῶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὄχλος πολύς.

12 ὡς δὲ ἤγγισεν τῇ πύλῃ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξεκομίζετο τεθνηκὼς μονογενὴς υἱὸς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὴ ἦν χήρα, καὶ ὄχλος τῆς πόλεως ἱκανὸς ἦν σὺν αὐτῇ.

13 καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν ὁ κύριος ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, μὴ κλαῖε.

14 καὶ προσελθὼν ἥψατο τῆς σοροῦ, οἱ δὲ βαστάζοντες ἔστησαν, καὶ εἶπεν, νεανίσκε, σοὶ λέγω, ἐγέρθητι.

15 καὶ ἀνεκάθισεν ὁ νεκρὸς καὶ ἤρξατο λαλεῖν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ.

16 ἔλαβεν δὲ φόβος πάντας, καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν θεὸν λέγοντες ὅτι προφήτης μέγας ἠγέρθη ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅτι ἐπεσκέψατο ὁ θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.

17 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ λόγος οὖτος ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ἰουδαίᾳ περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάσῃ τῇ περιχώρῳ.

18 καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν ἰωάννῃ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ περὶ πάντων τούτων. καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος δύο τινὰς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ὁ ἰωάννης

19 ἔπεμψεν πρὸς τὸν κύριον λέγων, σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἢ ἄλλον προσδοκῶμεν;

20 παραγενόμενοι δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες εἶπαν, ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς ἀπέστειλεν ἡμᾶς πρὸς σὲ λέγων, σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἢ ἄλλον προσδοκῶμεν;

21 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐθεράπευσεν πολλοὺς ἀπὸ νόσων καὶ μαστίγων καὶ πνευμάτων πονηρῶν, καὶ τυφλοῖς πολλοῖς ἐχαρίσατο βλέπειν.

22 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, πορευθέντες ἀπαγγείλατε ἰωάννῃ ἃ εἴδετε καὶ ἠκούσατε· τυφλοὶ ἀναβλέπουσιν, χωλοὶ περιπατοῦσιν, λεπροὶ καθαρίζονται καὶ κωφοὶ ἀκούουσιν, νεκροὶ ἐγείρονται, πτωχοὶ εὐαγγελίζονται·

23 καὶ μακάριός ἐστιν ὃς ἐὰν μὴ σκανδαλισθῇ ἐν ἐμοί.

24 ἀπελθόντων δὲ τῶν ἀγγέλων ἰωάννου ἤρξατο λέγειν πρὸς τοὺς ὄχλους περὶ ἰωάννου, τί ἐξήλθατε εἰς τὴν ἔρημον θεάσασθαι; κάλαμον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου σαλευόμενον;

25 ἀλλὰ τί ἐξήλθατε ἰδεῖν; ἄνθρωπον ἐν μαλακοῖς ἱματίοις ἠμφιεσμένον; ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐν ἱματισμῶ ἐνδόξῳ καὶ τρυφῇ ὑπάρχοντες ἐν τοῖς βασιλείοις εἰσίν.

26 ἀλλὰ τί ἐξήλθατε ἰδεῖν; προφήτην; ναί, λέγω ὑμῖν, καὶ περισσότερον προφήτου.

27 οὖτός ἐστιν περὶ οὖ γέγραπται, ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου ἔμπροσθέν σου.

28 λέγω ὑμῖν, μείζων ἐν γεννητοῖς γυναικῶν ἰωάννου οὐδείς ἐστιν· ὁ δὲ μικρότερος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ μείζων αὐτοῦ ἐστιν.

29 καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀκούσας καὶ οἱ τελῶναι ἐδικαίωσαν τὸν θεόν, βαπτισθέντες τὸ βάπτισμα ἰωάννου·

30 οἱ δὲ φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ νομικοὶ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ἠθέτησαν εἰς ἑαυτούς, μὴ βαπτισθέντες ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.

31 τίνι οὗν ὁμοιώσω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης, καὶ τίνι εἰσὶν ὅμοιοι;

32 ὅμοιοί εἰσιν παιδίοις τοῖς ἐν ἀγορᾷ καθημένοις καὶ προσφωνοῦσιν ἀλλήλοις, ἃ λέγει, ηὐλήσαμεν ὑμῖν καὶ οὐκ ὠρχήσασθε· ἐθρηνήσαμεν καὶ οὐκ ἐκλαύσατε.

33 ἐλήλυθεν γὰρ ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς μὴ ἐσθίων ἄρτον μήτε πίνων οἶνον, καὶ λέγετε, δαιμόνιον ἔχει·

34 ἐλήλυθεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων, καὶ λέγετε, ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος φάγος καὶ οἰνοπότης, φίλος τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν.

35 καὶ ἐδικαιώθη ἡ σοφία ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν τέκνων αὐτῆς.

36 ἠρώτα δέ τις αὐτὸν τῶν φαρισαίων ἵνα φάγῃ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ φαρισαίου κατεκλίθη.

37 καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ ἥτις ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἁμαρτωλός, καὶ ἐπιγνοῦσα ὅτι κατάκειται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ φαρισαίου, κομίσασα ἀλάβαστρον μύρου

38 καὶ στᾶσα ὀπίσω παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ κλαίουσα, τοῖς δάκρυσιν ἤρξατο βρέχειν τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ταῖς θριξὶν τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς ἐξέμασσεν, καὶ κατεφίλει τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤλειφεν τῶ μύρῳ.

39 ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ φαρισαῖος ὁ καλέσας αὐτὸν εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῶ λέγων, οὖτος εἰ ἦν προφήτης, ἐγίνωσκεν ἂν τίς καὶ ποταπὴ ἡ γυνὴ ἥτις ἅπτεται αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἁμαρτωλός ἐστιν.

40 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, σίμων, ἔχω σοί τι εἰπεῖν. ὁ δέ, διδάσκαλε, εἰπέ, φησίν.

41 δύο χρεοφειλέται ἦσαν δανιστῇ τινι· ὁ εἷς ὤφειλεν δηνάρια πεντακόσια, ὁ δὲ ἕτερος πεντήκοντα.

42 μὴ ἐχόντων αὐτῶν ἀποδοῦναι ἀμφοτέροις ἐχαρίσατο. τίς οὗν αὐτῶν πλεῖον ἀγαπήσει αὐτόν;

43 ἀποκριθεὶς σίμων εἶπεν, ὑπολαμβάνω ὅτι ᾧ τὸ πλεῖον ἐχαρίσατο. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ὀρθῶς ἔκρινας.

44 καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα τῶ σίμωνι ἔφη, βλέπεις ταύτην τὴν γυναῖκα; εἰσῆλθόν σου εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, ὕδωρ μοι ἐπὶ πόδας οὐκ ἔδωκας· αὕτη δὲ τοῖς δάκρυσιν ἔβρεξέν μου τοὺς πόδας καὶ ταῖς θριξὶν αὐτῆς ἐξέμαξεν.

45 φίλημά μοι οὐκ ἔδωκας· αὕτη δὲ ἀφ᾽ ἧς εἰσῆλθον οὐ διέλιπεν καταφιλοῦσά μου τοὺς πόδας.

46 ἐλαίῳ τὴν κεφαλήν μου οὐκ ἤλειψας· αὕτη δὲ μύρῳ ἤλειψεν τοὺς πόδας μου.

47 οὖ χάριν λέγω σοι, ἀφέωνται αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῆς αἱ πολλαί, ὅτι ἠγάπησεν πολύ· ᾧ δὲ ὀλίγον ἀφίεται, ὀλίγον ἀγαπᾷ.

48 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῇ, ἀφέωνταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι.

49 καὶ ἤρξαντο οἱ συνανακείμενοι λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, τίς οὖτός ἐστιν ὃς καὶ ἁμαρτίας ἀφίησιν;

50 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα, ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε· πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην.

1  Now¹¹⁶¹ when¹⁸⁹³ he had ended⁴¹³⁷ all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ sayings⁴⁴⁸⁷ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ audience¹⁸⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² he entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ Capernaum.²⁵⁸⁴

2  And¹¹⁶¹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ centurion's¹⁵⁴³ servant,¹⁴⁰¹ who³⁷³⁹ was²²⁵⁸ dear¹⁷⁸⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ was sick,^{2192 2560} and ready³¹⁹⁵ to die.⁵⁰⁵³

3  And¹¹⁶¹ when he heard¹⁹¹ of⁴⁰¹² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ he sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ the elders⁴²⁴⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews,²⁴⁵³ beseeching²⁰⁶⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ that³⁷⁰⁴ he would come²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² heal¹²⁹⁵ his⁸⁴⁶ servant.¹⁴⁰¹

4  And¹¹⁶¹ when they³⁵⁸⁸ came³⁸⁵⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ they besought³⁸⁷⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ instantly,⁴⁷⁰⁹ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ That³⁷⁵⁴ he was²⁰⁷⁶ worthy⁵¹⁴ for whom³⁷³⁹ he should do³⁹³⁰ this:⁵¹²⁴

5  For¹⁰⁶³ he loveth²⁵ our²²⁵⁷ nation,¹⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² he⁸⁴⁶ hath built³⁶¹⁸ us²²⁵⁴ a synagogue.⁴⁸⁶⁴

6  Then¹¹⁶¹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ went⁴¹⁹⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² them.⁸⁴⁶ And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ was⁵⁶⁸ now²²³⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ far³¹¹² from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ house,³⁶¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion¹⁵⁴³ sent³⁹⁹² friends⁵³⁸⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Lord,²⁹⁶² trouble⁴⁶⁶⁰ not³³⁶¹ thyself: for¹⁰⁶³ I am¹⁵¹⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ worthy²⁴²⁵ that²⁴⁴³ thou shouldest enter¹⁵²⁵ under⁵²⁵⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ roof:⁴⁷²¹

7  Wherefore¹³⁵² neither³⁷⁶¹ thought I myself worthy^{515 1683} to come²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ thee:⁴⁵⁷¹ but²³⁵ say²⁰³⁶ in a word,³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² my³⁴⁵⁰ servant³⁸¹⁶ shall be healed.²³⁹⁰

8  For¹⁰⁶³ I¹⁴⁷³ also²⁵³² am¹⁵¹⁰ a man⁴⁴⁴ set⁵⁰²¹ under⁵²⁵⁹ authority,¹⁸⁴⁹ having²¹⁹² under⁵²⁵⁹ me¹⁶⁸³ soldiers,⁴⁷⁵⁷ and²⁵³² I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto one,⁵¹²⁹ Go,⁴¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² he goeth;⁴¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² to another,²⁴³ Come,²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² he cometh;²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² to my³⁴⁵⁰ servant,¹⁴⁰¹ Do⁴¹⁶⁰ this,⁵¹²⁴ and²⁵³² he doeth⁴¹⁶⁰ it.

9  When¹¹⁶¹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ heard¹⁹¹ these things,⁵⁰²³ he marveled²²⁹⁶ at him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² turned him about,⁴⁷⁶² and said²⁰³⁶ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ people³⁷⁹³ that followed¹⁹⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ I have not found²¹⁴⁷ so great⁵¹¹⁸ faith,⁴¹⁰² no, not³⁷⁶¹ in¹⁷²² Israel.²⁴⁷⁴

10  And²⁵³² they that were sent,³⁹⁹² returning⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ house,³⁶²⁴ found²¹⁴⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ servant¹⁴⁰¹ whole⁵¹⁹⁸ that had been sick.⁷⁷⁰

11  And²⁵³² it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ day after,¹⁸³⁶ that he went⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ a city⁴¹⁷² called²⁵⁶⁴ Nain;³⁴⁸⁴ and²⁵³² many²⁴²⁵ of his⁸⁴⁶ disciples³¹⁰¹ went with⁴⁸⁴⁸ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² much⁴¹⁸³ people.³⁷⁹³

12  Now¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ he came nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ to the³⁵⁸⁸ gate⁴⁴³⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city,^{4172 2532} behold,²⁴⁰⁰ there was a dead man²³⁴⁸ carried out,¹⁵⁸⁰ the only³⁴³⁹ son⁵²⁰⁷ of his⁸⁴⁸ mother,³³⁸⁴ and²⁵³² she³⁷⁷⁸ was²²⁵⁸ a widow:⁵⁵⁰³ and²⁵³² much²⁴²⁵ people³⁷⁹³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² was²²⁵⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² her.⁸⁴⁶

13  And²⁵³² when the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² saw¹⁴⁹² her,⁸⁴⁶ he had compassion⁴⁶⁹⁷ on¹⁹⁰⁹ her,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto her,⁸⁴⁶ Weep²⁷⁹⁹ not.³³⁶¹

14  And²⁵³² he came⁴³³⁴ and touched⁶⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ bier:⁴⁶⁷³ and¹¹⁶¹ they that bare⁹⁴¹ him stood still.²⁴⁷⁶ And²⁵³² he said,²⁰³⁶ Young man,³⁴⁹⁵ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ Arise.¹⁴⁵³

15  And²⁵³² he that was dead³⁴⁹⁸ sat up,³³⁹ and²⁵³² began⁷⁵⁶ to speak.²⁹⁸⁰ And²⁵³² he delivered¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ to his⁸⁴⁶ mother.³³⁸⁴

16  And¹¹⁶¹ there came a fear^{5401 2983} on all:⁵³⁷ and²⁵³² they glorified¹³⁹² God,²³¹⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ That³⁷⁵⁴ a great³¹⁷³ prophet⁴³⁹⁶ is risen up¹⁴⁵³ among¹⁷²² us;²²⁵⁴ and,²⁵³² That³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ hath visited¹⁹⁸⁰ his⁸⁴⁸ people.²⁹⁹²

17  And²⁵³² this³⁷⁷⁸ rumor³⁰⁵⁶ of⁴⁰¹² him⁸⁴⁶ went forth¹⁸³¹ throughout¹⁷²² all³⁶⁵⁰ Judea,²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² throughout¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ region round about.⁴⁰⁶⁶

18  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ of John²⁴⁹¹ showed⁵¹⁸ him⁸⁴⁶ of⁴⁰¹² all³⁹⁵⁶ these things.⁵¹³⁰

19  And²⁵³² John²⁴⁹¹ calling⁴³⁴¹ unto him⁵¹⁰⁰ two¹⁴¹⁷ of his⁸⁴⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ sent³⁹⁹² them to⁴³¹⁴ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Art¹⁴⁸⁸ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ he that should come²⁰⁶⁴ or²²²⁸ look we for⁴³²⁸ another?²⁴³

20  When¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴³⁵ were come³⁸⁵⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ they said,²⁰³⁶ John²⁴⁹¹ Baptist⁹¹⁰ hath sent⁶⁴⁹ us²²⁴⁸ unto⁴³¹⁴ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Art¹⁴⁸⁸ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ he that should come²⁰⁶⁴ or²²²⁸ look we for⁴³²⁸ another?²⁴³

21  And¹¹⁶¹ in¹⁷²² that same⁸⁴⁶ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ he cured²³²³ many⁴¹⁸³ of⁵⁷⁵ their infirmities³⁵⁵⁴ and²⁵³² plagues,³¹⁴⁸ and²⁵³² of evil⁴¹⁹⁰ spirits;⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² unto many⁴¹⁸³ that were blind⁵¹⁸⁵ he gave⁵⁴⁸³ sight.⁹⁹¹

22  Then²⁵³² Jesus²⁴²⁴ answering⁶¹¹ said²⁰³⁶ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Go your way,⁴¹⁹⁸ and tell⁵¹⁸ John²⁴⁹¹ what things³⁷³⁹ ye have seen¹⁴⁹² and²⁵³² heard;¹⁹¹ how that³⁷⁵⁴ the blind⁵¹⁸⁵ see,³⁰⁸ the lame⁵⁵⁶⁰ walk,⁴⁰⁴³ the lepers³⁰¹⁵ are cleansed,²⁵¹¹ the deaf²⁹⁷⁴ hear,¹⁹¹ the dead³⁴⁹⁸ are raised,¹⁴⁵³ to the poor⁴⁴³⁴ the gospel is preached.²⁰⁹⁷

23  And²⁵³² blessed³¹⁰⁷ is²⁰⁷⁶ he, whosoever^{3739 1437} shall not³³⁶¹ be offended⁴⁶²⁴ in¹⁷²² me.¹⁶⁹⁸

24  And¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ messengers³² of John²⁴⁹¹ were departed,⁵⁶⁵ he began⁷⁵⁶ to speak³⁰⁰⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ people³⁷⁹³ concerning⁴⁰¹² John,²⁴⁹¹ What⁵¹⁰¹ went ye out¹⁸³¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ wilderness²⁰⁴⁸ for to see?²³⁰⁰ A reed²⁵⁶³ shaken⁴⁵³¹ with⁵²⁵⁹ the wind?⁴¹⁷

25  But²³⁵ what⁵¹⁰¹ went ye out¹⁸³¹ for to see?¹⁴⁹² A man⁴⁴⁴ clothed²⁹⁴ in¹⁷²² soft³¹²⁰ raiment?²⁴⁴⁰ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ they³⁵⁸⁸ which are gorgeously appareled,^{1722 1741 2441} and²⁵³² live⁵²²⁵ delicately,⁵¹⁷² are¹⁵²⁶ in¹⁷²² kings' courts.⁹³³

26  But²³⁵ what⁵¹⁰¹ went ye out¹⁸³¹ for to see?¹⁴⁹² A prophet?⁴³⁹⁶ Yea,³⁴⁸³ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² much more⁴⁰⁵⁵ than a prophet.⁴³⁹⁶

27  This³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ he, of⁴⁰¹² whom³⁷³⁹ it is written,¹¹²⁵ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ send⁶⁴⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ messenger³² before⁴²⁵³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ face,⁴³⁸³ which³⁷³⁹ shall prepare²⁶⁸⁰ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ way³⁵⁹⁸ before¹⁷¹⁵ thee.⁴⁶⁷⁵

28  For¹⁰⁶³ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Among¹⁷²² those that are born¹⁰⁸⁴ of women¹¹³⁵ there is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁶² a greater³¹⁸⁷ prophet⁴³⁹⁶ than John²⁴⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Baptist:⁹¹⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ he that is least³³⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God²³¹⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ greater³¹⁸⁷ than he.⁸⁴⁶

29  And²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² that heard¹⁹¹ him, and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ publicans,⁵⁰⁵⁷ justified¹³⁴⁴ God,²³¹⁶ being baptized⁹⁰⁷ with the³⁵⁸⁸ baptism⁹⁰⁸ of John.²⁴⁹¹

30  But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisees⁵³³⁰ and²⁵³² lawyers³⁵⁴⁴ rejected¹¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ counsel¹⁰¹² of God²³¹⁶ against¹⁵¹⁹ themselves,¹⁴³⁸ being not³³⁶¹ baptized⁹⁰⁷ of⁵²⁵⁹ him.⁸⁴⁶

31  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² said,²⁰³⁶ Whereunto⁵¹⁰¹ then³⁷⁶⁷ shall I liken³⁶⁶⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴⁴⁴ of this⁵⁰²⁶ generation?¹⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² to what⁵¹⁰¹ are¹⁵²⁶ they like?³⁶⁶⁴

32  They are¹⁵²⁶ like unto³⁶⁶⁴ children³⁸¹³ sitting²⁵²¹ in¹⁷²² the marketplace,⁵⁸ and²⁵³² calling⁴³⁷⁷ one to another,²⁴⁰ and²⁵³² saying,³⁰⁰⁴ We have piped⁸³² unto you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² ye have not³⁷⁵⁶ danced;³⁷³⁸ we have mourned²³⁵⁴ to you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² ye have not³⁷⁵⁶ wept.²⁷⁹⁹

33  For¹⁰⁶³ John²⁴⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Baptist⁹¹⁰ came²⁰⁶⁴ neither³³⁸³ eating²⁰⁶⁸ bread⁷⁴⁰ nor³³⁸³ drinking⁴⁰⁹⁵ wine;³⁶³¹ and²⁵³² ye say,³⁰⁰⁴ He hath²¹⁹² a devil.¹¹⁴⁰

34  The³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man⁴⁴⁴ is come²⁰⁶⁴ eating²⁰⁶⁸ and²⁵³² drinking;⁴⁰⁹⁵ and²⁵³² ye say,³⁰⁰⁴ Behold²⁴⁰⁰ a gluttonous⁵³¹⁴ man,⁴⁴⁴ and²⁵³² a winebibber,³⁶³⁰ a friend⁵³⁸⁴ of publicans⁵⁰⁵⁷ and²⁵³² sinners!²⁶⁸

35  But²⁵³² wisdom⁴⁶⁷⁸ is justified¹³⁴⁴ of⁵⁷⁵ all³⁹⁵⁶ her⁸⁴⁸ children.⁵⁰⁴³

36  And¹¹⁶¹ one⁵¹⁰⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisees⁵³³⁰ desired²⁰⁶⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ that²⁴⁴³ he would eat⁵³¹⁵ with³³²⁶ him.⁸⁴⁶ And²⁵³² he went¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisee's⁵³³⁰ house,³⁶¹⁴ and²⁵³² sat down to meat.³⁴⁷

37  And,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ a woman¹¹³⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ city,⁴¹⁷² which³⁷⁴⁸ was²²⁵⁸ a sinner,²⁶⁸ when she knew¹⁹²¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ Jesus sat at meat³⁴⁵ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisee's⁵³³⁰ house,³⁶¹⁴ brought²⁸⁶⁵ an alabaster box²¹¹ of ointment,³⁴⁶⁴

38  And²⁵³² stood²⁴⁷⁶ at³⁸⁴⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ feet⁴²²⁸ behind³⁶⁹⁴ him weeping,²⁷⁹⁹ and began⁷⁵⁶ to wash¹⁰²⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ feet⁴²²⁸ with tears,¹¹⁴⁴ and²⁵³² did wipe¹⁵⁹¹ them with the³⁵⁸⁸ hairs²³⁵⁹ of her⁸⁴⁸ head,²⁷⁷⁶ and²⁵³² kissed²⁷⁰⁵ his⁸⁴⁶ feet,⁴²²⁸ and²⁵³² anointed²¹⁸ them with the³⁵⁸⁸ ointment.³⁴⁶⁴

39  Now¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisee⁵³³⁰ which had bidden²⁵⁶⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ saw¹⁴⁹² it, he spake²⁰³⁶ within¹⁷²² himself,¹⁴³⁸ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ This man,³⁷⁷⁸ if¹⁴⁸⁷ he were²²⁵⁸ a prophet,⁴³⁹⁶ would have known^{1097 302} who⁵¹⁰¹ and²⁵³² what manner⁴²¹⁷ of woman¹¹³⁵ this is that³⁷⁴⁸ toucheth⁶⁸⁰ him:⁸⁴⁶ for³⁷⁵⁴ she is²⁰⁷⁶ a sinner.²⁶⁸

40  And²⁵³² Jesus²⁴²⁴ answering⁶¹¹ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ Simon,⁴⁶¹³ I have²¹⁹² somewhat⁵¹⁰⁰ to say²⁰³⁶ unto thee.⁴⁶⁷¹ And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ saith,⁵³⁴⁶ Master,¹³²⁰ say on.²⁰³⁶

41  There was a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ creditor¹¹⁵⁷ which had²²⁵⁸ two¹⁴¹⁷ debtors:⁵⁵³³ the³⁵⁸⁸ one¹⁵²⁰ owed³⁷⁸⁴ five hundred⁴⁰⁰¹ pence,¹²²⁰ and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ other²⁰⁸⁷ fifty.⁴⁰⁰⁴

42  And¹¹⁶¹ when they⁸⁴⁶ had²¹⁹² nothing³³⁶¹ to pay,⁵⁹¹ he frankly forgave⁵⁴⁸³ them both.²⁹⁷ Tell²⁰³⁶ me therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ which⁵¹⁰¹ of them⁸⁴⁶ will love²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ most?⁴¹¹⁹

43  ¹¹⁶¹ Simon⁴⁶¹³ answered⁶¹¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ I suppose⁵²⁷⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ he, to whom³⁷³⁹ he forgave⁵⁴⁸³ most.⁴¹¹⁹ And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Thou hast rightly³⁷²³ judged.²⁹¹⁹

44  And²⁵³² he turned⁴⁷⁶² to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ woman,¹¹³⁵ and said⁵³⁴⁶ unto Simon,⁴⁶¹³ Seest⁹⁹¹ thou this⁵⁰²⁶ woman?¹¹³⁵ I entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ house,³⁶¹⁴ thou gavest¹³²⁵ me no³⁷⁵⁶ water⁵²⁰⁴ for¹⁹⁰⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ feet:⁴²²⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ she³⁷⁷⁸ hath washed¹⁰²⁶ my³⁴⁵⁰ feet⁴²²⁸ with tears,¹¹⁴⁴ and²⁵³² wiped¹⁵⁹¹ them with the³⁵⁸⁸ hairs²³⁵⁹ of her⁸⁴⁸ head.²⁷⁷⁶

45  Thou gavest¹³²⁵ me³⁴²⁷ no³⁷⁵⁶ kiss:⁵³⁷⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ this woman³⁷⁷⁸ since⁵⁷⁵ the time³⁷³⁹ I came in¹⁵²⁵ hath not³⁷⁵⁶ ceased¹²⁵⁷ to kiss²⁷⁰⁵ my³⁴⁵⁰ feet.⁴²²⁸

46  My³⁴⁵⁰ head²⁷⁷⁶ with oil¹⁶³⁷ thou didst not³⁷⁵⁶ anoint:²¹⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ this woman³⁷⁷⁸ hath anointed²¹⁸ my³⁴⁵⁰ feet⁴²²⁸ with ointment.³⁴⁶⁴

47  Wherefore^{5484 3739} I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto thee,⁵²¹³ Her⁸⁴⁶ sins,²⁶⁶ which are many,⁴¹⁸³ are forgiven;⁸⁶³ for³⁷⁵⁴ she loved²⁵ much:⁴¹⁸³ but¹¹⁶¹ to whom³⁷³⁹ little³⁶⁴¹ is forgiven,⁸⁶³ the same loveth²⁵ little.³⁶⁴¹

48  And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶ unto her,⁸⁴⁶ Thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ sins²⁶⁶ are forgiven.⁸⁶³

49  And²⁵³² they that sat at meat with⁴⁸⁷³ him began⁷⁵⁶ to say³⁰⁰⁴ within¹⁷²² themselves,¹⁴³⁸ Who⁵¹⁰¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ this³⁷⁷⁸ that³⁷³⁹ forgiveth⁸⁶³ sins²⁶⁶ also?²⁵³²

50  And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ woman,¹¹³⁵ Thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ faith⁴¹⁰² hath saved⁴⁹⁸² thee;⁴⁵⁷¹ go⁴¹⁹⁸ in¹⁵¹⁹ peace.¹⁵¹⁵

2 Centurionis autem cujusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus: qui illi erat pretiosus.

3 Et cum audisset de Jesu, misit ad eum seniores Judæorum, rogans eum ut veniret et salvaret servum ejus.

4 At illi cum venissent ad Jesum, rogabant eum sollicite, dicentes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes:

5 diligit enim gentem nostram, et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.

6 Jesus autem ibat cum illis. Et cum jam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum centurio amicos, dicens: Domine, noli vexari: non enim sum dignus ut sub tectum meum intres:

7 propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te: sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.

8 Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate constitutus, habens sub me milites: et dico huic, Vade, et vadit: et alii, Veni, et venit: et servo meo, Fac hoc, et facit.

9 Quo audito Jesus miratus est: et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, nec in Israël tantam fidem inveni.

10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.

11 Et factum est: deinceps ibat in civitatem quæ vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa.

12 Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ: et hæc vidua erat: et turba civitatis multa cum illa.

13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere.

14 Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem qui portabant, steterunt.) Et ait: Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.

15 Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.

16 Accepit autem omnes timor: et magnificabant Deum, dicentes: Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis: et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.

17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Judæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.

18 Et nuntiaverunt Joanni discipuli ejus de omnibus his.

19 Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Joannes, et misit ad Jesum, dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?

20 Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: Joannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?

21 (In ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)

22 Et respondens, dixit illis: Euntes renuntiate Joanni quæ audistis et vidistis: quia cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur:

23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.

24 Et cum discessissent nuntii Joannis, cœpit de Joanne dicere ad turbas: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatam?

25 Sed quid existis videre? hominem mollibus vestibus indutum? Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.

26 Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam:

27 hic est, de quo scriptum est: Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.

28 Dico enim vobis: major inter natos mulierum propheta Joanne Baptista nemo est: qui autem minor est in regno Dei, major est illo.

29 Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, justificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Joannis.

30 Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.

31 Ait autem Dominus: Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus? et cui similes sunt?

32 Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus ad invicem, et dicentibus: Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastis.

33 Venit enim Joannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: Dæmonium habet.

34 Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis: Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum et peccatorum.

35 Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.

36 Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisæi discubuit.

37 Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti:

38 et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis cœpit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat.

39 Videns autem pharisæus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens: Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quæ et qualis est mulier, quæ tangit eum: quia peccatrix est.

40 Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum: Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait: Magister, dic.

41 Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.

42 Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?

43 Respondens Simon dixit: Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit: Recte judicasti.

44 Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni: Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti: hæc autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit.

45 Osculum mihi non dedisti: hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.

46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti: hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.

47 Propter quod dico tibi: remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.

48 Dixit autem ad illam: Remittuntur tibi peccata.

49 Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit?

50 Dixit autem ad mulierem: Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace.
