Now when
he had ended
all
his
sayings
in
the audience
of the people
, he entered
into
Capernaum
.
And a certain
centurion's
servant
, who
was
dear
unto him
, was
sick
, and ready
to die
.
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
.
And when they came
to
Jesus
, they besought
him
instantly
, saying
, That
he was
worthy
for whom
he should do
this
:
For he loveth
our
nation
, and
he
hath built
us
a synagogue
.
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
:
Wherefore neither
thought I
myself
worthy
to come
unto
thee
: but
say
in a word
, and
my
servant
shall be healed
.
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 .
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
.
And they that were sent
, returning
to
the house
, found
the servant
whole
that had been sick
.
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
.
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
.
And when the Lord
saw
her
, he had compassion
on
her
, and
said
unto her
, Weep
not
.
And he came
and touched
the bier
: and
they that bare
him stood still
. And
he said
, Young man
, I say
unto thee
, Arise
.
And he that was dead
sat up
, and
began
to speak
. And
he delivered
him
to his
mother
.
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
.
And this
rumour
of
him
went forth
throughout
all
Judaea
, and
throughout
all
the region round about
.
And the disciples
of John
shewed
him
of
all
these things
.
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
?
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
?
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
.
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
.
And blessed
is
he , whosoever
shall
not
be offended
in
me
.
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
?
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
.
But what
went ye out
for to see
? A prophet
? Yea
, I say
unto you
, and
much more
than a prophet
.
This is
he , of
whom
it is written
, Behold
, I
send
my
messenger
before
thy
face
, which
shall prepare
thy
way
before
thee
.
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
.
And all
the people
that heard
him , and
the publicans
, justified
God
, being baptized
with the baptism
of John
.
But the Pharisees
and
lawyers
rejected
the counsel
of God
against
themselves
, being
not
baptized
of
him
.
And the Lord
said
, Whereunto
then
shall I liken
the men
of this
generation
? and
to what
are they
like
?
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
.
For John
the Baptist
came
neither
eating
bread
nor
drinking
wine
; and
ye say
, He hath
a devil
.
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 justified
of
all
her
children
.
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
.
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
,
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
.
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
.
And Jesus
answering
said
unto
him
, Simon
, I have
somewhat
to say
unto thee
. And
he saith
, Master
, say on
.
There was a certain
creditor
which had two
debtors
: the one
owed
five hundred
pence
, and
the other
fifty
.
And when they
had
nothing
to pay
, he frankly forgave
them both
. Tell me
therefore
, which
of them
will love
him
most
?
Simon answered
and
said
, I suppose
that
he , to whom
he forgave
most
. And
he said
unto him
, Thou hast
rightly
judged
.
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
.
Thou gavest me
no
kiss
: but
this woman
since
the time
I came in
hath
not
ceased
to kiss
my
feet
.
My head
with oil
thou didst
not
anoint
: but
this woman
hath anointed
my
feet
with ointment
.
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
unto her
, Thy
sins
are forgiven
.
And they that sat at meat with him
began
to say
within
themselves
, Who
is
this
that
forgiveth
sins
also
?
And he said
to
the woman
, Thy
faith
hath saved
thee
; go
in
peace
.
