LUK-7:1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of
the people, he entered into Capernaum.
LUK-7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him,
was sick, and ready to die.
LUK-7:3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders
of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his
servant.
LUK-7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,
saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
LUK-7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a
synagogue.
LUK-7:6 Then 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 enter under my roof:
LUK-7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto
thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
LUK-7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me
soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another,
Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth
[it].
LUK-7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and
turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I
say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
LUK-7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found
the servant whole that had been sick.
LUK-7:11 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
much people.
LUK-7:12 Now when he came nigh 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 much people of the city was with her.
LUK-7:13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her,
and said unto her, Weep not.
LUK-7:14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare
[him] stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee,
Arise.
LUK-7:15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
delivered him to his mother.
LUK-7:16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God,
saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God
hath visited his people.
LUK-7:17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea,
and throughout all the region round about.
LUK-7:18 And the disciples of John showed him of all these
things.
LUK-7:19 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?
LUK-7:20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John
Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should
come? or look we for another?
LUK-7:21 And 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.
LUK-7:22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and
tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind
see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the
dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
LUK-7:23 And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in
me.
LUK-7:24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began
to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into
the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
LUK-7:25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live
delicately, are in kings' courts.
LUK-7:26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say
unto you, and much more than a prophet.
LUK-7:27 This is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee.
LUK-7:28 For 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.
LUK-7:29 And all the people that heard [him], and the publicans,
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
LUK-7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of
God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
LUK-7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men
of this generation? and to what are they like?
LUK-7:32 They 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.
LUK-7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor
drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
LUK-7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say,
Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans
and sinners!
LUK-7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
LUK-7:36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat
with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to
meat.
LUK-7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner,
when she knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee's house,
brought an alabaster box of ointment,
LUK-7:38 And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began
to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs
of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the
ointment.
LUK-7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he
spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet,
would have known who and what manner of woman [this is] that
toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
LUK-7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have
somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
LUK-7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the
one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
LUK-7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave
them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
LUK-7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom
he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
LUK-7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest
thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no
water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and
wiped [them] with the hairs of her head.
LUK-7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I
came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
LUK-7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman
hath anointed my feet with ointment.
LUK-7:47 Wherefore 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.
LUK-7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
LUK-7:49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
LUK-7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go
in peace.
