1 ¶ Now when he had ended all his words in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

2 A nd a certain centurion’s slave, who was dear unto him, was sick and ready to die.

And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;

3 A nd when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and free his slave.

and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.

4 A nd when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he is worthy that this should be done for him,

But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,

5 f or he loves our nation and he has built us a synagogue.

for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.

6 T hen 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 should enter under my roof;

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.

7 t herefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee but say the word, and my slave shall be healed.

Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.

8 F or I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say unto one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it.

For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does.

9 W hen Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him and turned about and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you that not even in Israel have I found such great faith.

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.

10 A nd those that had been sent, returning to the house, found the slave that had been sick whole.

And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.

11 ¶ And it came to pass the day after that he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.

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.

12 N ow when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and many people from the city were with her.

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 with her.

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

And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;

14 A nd he came and touched the bier, and those that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.

15 A nd he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.

16 A nd there came a fear on all, and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us, and, That God has visited his people.

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.

17 A nd this word of him went forth throughout all Judaea and throughout all the region round about.

And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.

18 A nd the disciples of John showed him of all these things.

And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:

19 ¶ And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

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?

20 W hen the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

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?

21 A nd in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues and of evil spirits, and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.

22 T hen Jesus answering said unto them, Go and tell John the things ye have seen and heard: how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached;

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;

23 a nd blessed is whoever shall not be offended in me.

and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.

24 A nd when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

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?

25 B ut what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those that are gorgeously apparelled and live delicately are in kings’ courts.

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.

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

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

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

This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;

28 F or I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater is no one than John; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

29 A nd all the people that heard him and the publicans justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

(And all the people who heard, and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;

30 B ut the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)

31 A nd the Lord said, Unto whom then shall I compare the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?

32 T hey are like unto children sitting in the marketplace and calling one to another and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

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.

33 F or John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.

For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.

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

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;

35 B ut wisdom is justified of all her children.

and wisdom has been justified of all her children.

36 ¶ And one of the Pharisees asked him if he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house and sat down to food.

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;

37 A nd, behold, a woman who had been a sinner in the city, when she knew that Jesus sat at food in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

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,

38 a nd stood at his feet behind him weeping and 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.

and standing at his feet behind weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed with the myrrh.

39 N ow when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him, for she is a sinner.

And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.

40 A nd Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have something to say unto thee. And he said, Master, say on.

And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say.

41 T here was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred denarius, and the other fifty.

There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;

42 A nd when they had nothing to pay, he released them both from their debt. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them: which of them therefore will love him most?

43 S imon answered and said, I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

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

44 A nd he turned to the woman and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou didst give me no water for my feet; but she has washed my feet with tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

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.

45 T hou gavest me no kiss; but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet.

Thou gavest me not a kiss, but she from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.

46 T hou didst not anoint my head with oil; but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.

My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she has anointed my feet with myrrh.

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

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.

48 A nd he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.

49 A nd those that sat at food with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also?

And they that were with at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?

50 A nd he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.

And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
