Luke 7
|
| After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum. | After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum. |
| And a certain captain had a servant who was very dear to him; this servant was ill and near to death. | And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death. |
| And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well. | And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant. |
| And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying, | And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him; |
| It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us. | for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue. |
| And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house: | And 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: |
| And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well. | wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed. |
| For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it. | For 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. |
| And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel. | And 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. |
| And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well. | And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole. |
| And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people. | And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. |
| Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her. | Now 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. |
| And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad. | And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. |
| And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up. | And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. |
| And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother. | And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. |
| And fear came on all, and they gave praise to God, saying, A great prophet is among us: and, God has given thought to his people. | And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people. |
| And this story about him went through all Judaea and the places round about. | And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about. |
| And the disciples of John gave him an account of all these things. | And the disciples of John told him of all these things. |
| Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another? | And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? |
| And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another? | And 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? |
| At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes. | In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight. |
| And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them. | And 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. |
| And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me. | And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me. |
| And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind? | And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind? |
| But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses. | But 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. |
| But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. | But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. |
| This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you. | This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee. |
| I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. | I 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. |
| (And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God. | And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. |
| But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.) | But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him. |
| What comparison am I to make of the men of this generation? what are they like? | Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like? |
| They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad. | They 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. |
| For John the Baptist came, taking no food or drink, and you say, He has an evil spirit. | For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon. |
| The Son of man came feasting, and you say, Here is a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners. | 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! |
| But wisdom is judged to be right by all her children. | And wisdom is justified of all her children. |
| And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table. | And 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. |
| And there was a woman in the town who was a sinner; and when she had news that he was a guest in the Pharisee's house, she took a bottle of perfume, | And 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, |
| And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them. | and 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. |
| Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on him, that she is a sinner. | Now 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. |
| And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on. | And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on. |
| And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty. | A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty. |
| When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him? | When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most? |
| Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right. | Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. |
| And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair. | And 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. |
| You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet. | Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. |
| You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet. | My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment. |
| And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love. | 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. |
| And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins. | And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. |
| And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins? | And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins? |
| And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace. | And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. |
