Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 7
|
|
1. Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.
|
|
2. And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.
|
|
3. So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant.
|
|
4. And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,
|
|
5. "for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue."
|
|
|
|
6. Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.
|
|
7. Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
|
|
8. For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
|
|
|
|
9. When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, *"I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!"*
|
|
10. And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick.Jesus Raises the Son of the Widow of Nain
|
|
|
|
11. Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.
|
|
12. And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
|
|
13. When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, *"Do not weep."*
|
|
14. Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, *"Young man, I say to you, arise."*
|
|
15. So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
|
|
|
|
16. Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us"; and, "God has visited His people."
|
|
17. And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus
|
|
|
|
18. Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.
|
|
19. And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"
|
|
|
|
20. When the men had come to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, 'Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?' "
|
|
21. And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.
|
|
|
|
22. Jesus answered and said to them, *"Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them.*
|
|
23. *And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."*
|
|
|
|
24. When the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: *"What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?*
|
|
25. *But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts.*
|
|
26. *But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.*
|
|
27. *This is he of whom it is written:*
|
|
*'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,*
|
|
*Who will prepare Your way before You.'*
|
|
|
|
28. *For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."*
|
|
|
|
29. And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John.
|
|
30. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
|
|
|
|
31. And the Lord said, *"To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like?*
|
|
32. *They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying:*
|
|
*'We played the flute for you,*
|
|
*And you did not dance;*
|
|
*We mourned to you,*
|
|
*And you did not weep.'*
|
|
|
|
33. *For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.'*
|
|
34. *The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'*
|
|
35. *But wisdom is justified by all her children."*A Sinful Woman Forgiven
|
|
|
|
36. Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.
|
|
37. And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
|
|
38. and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.
|
|
39. Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, "This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner."
|
|
|
|
40. And Jesus answered and said to him, *"Simon, I have something to say to you."*
|
|
So he said, "Teacher, say it."
|
|
|
|
41. *"There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.*
|
|
42. *And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?"*
|
|
|
|
43. Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more."
|
|
And He said to him, *"You have rightly judged."*
|
|
44. Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, *"Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.*
|
|
45. *You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.*
|
|
46. *You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil.*
|
|
47. *Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."*
|
|
|
|
48. Then He said to her, *"Your sins are forgiven."*
|
|
|
|
49. And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
|
|
|
|
50. Then He said to the woman, *"Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."*
