| [1]And when he had finished all these discourses in the audience of the people, Jesus entered into Capernaum. |
[No book] |
| [2]And the servant of a centurion, who was dear to him, was very sick, and near to death. |
[No book] |
| [3]And he heard of Jesus, and sent the Elders of the Jews to him, and requested of him that he would come and save the life of his servant. |
[No book] |
| [4]And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him earnestly, and said: He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him; |
[No book] |
| [5]for he loveth our nation, and hath also built us a house of assembly. |
[No book] |
| [6]And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, and said to him: My Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: |
[No book] |
| [7]therefore I deemed myself not worthy to approach thee myself; but speak the word only, and my young man will be healed. |
[No book] |
| [8]For I also am a man subjected to authority; and I have soldiers under my command; 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.] |
[No book] |
| [9]And when Jesus heard these things, he admired him; and he turned, and said to the throng that followed him: I say to you, I have not found faith like this even in Israel. |
[No book] |
| [10]And they that were sent, returned to the house; and they found the servant that had been sick, now well. |
[No book] |
| [11]And the following day, he went to a city called Nain ; and his disciples [were]] with him, and a great multitude. |
[No book] |
| [12]And as he approached the gate of the city, he saw a procession bearing a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she a widow; and a great company of the people of the city were with her. |
[No book] |
| [13]And Jesus looked upon her, and had compassion on her; and he said to her, Weep not. |
[No book] |
| [14]And he went, and touched the bier; and they that bore him stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, Arise. |
[No book] |
| [15]And the dead man sat up, and began to speak: and he delivered him to his mother. |
[No book] |
| [16]And awe seized all the people; and they glorified God, and said: A great prophet hath arisen among us, and God hath visited his people. |
[No book] |
| [17]And that saying respecting him went out through all Judaea and all the surrounding region. |
[No book] |
| [18]And the disciples of John told him all these things. |
[No book] |
| [19]And John called two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that cometh, or shall we look for another? |
[No book] |
| [20]And they came to Jesus, and said to him: John the Baptizer hath sent us to thee, and saith: Art thou he that cometh, or shall we look for another? |
[No book] |
| [21]And in that hour he healed many persons of their diseases, and of plagues, and of unclean spirits, and gave sight to many blind persons. |
[No book] |
| [22]And Jesus replied, and said to them: Go ye, and tell John all that ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and to the poor good news is proclaimed: |
[No book] |
| [23]and blessed is he that is not stumbled in me. |
[No book] |
| [24]And when John's disciples were gone, Jesus began to say to the multitude, concerning John: What went ye into the wilderness to see? a reed agitated by the wind? |
[No book] |
| [25]Or if not; what went ye out to see? a man clad in soft raiment? Lo, they that use splendid garments and luxuries, are in kings' palaces. |
[No book] |
| [26]Or if not; what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, say I to you; and more than a prophet. |
[No book] |
| [27][For] this is he, of whom it is written: Behold I send my messenger before thy face, to prepare thy way before thee. |
[No book] |
| [28]I say to you, that no prophet, among those born of women, was greater than John the Baptizer: and yet the little one in the kingdom of God, is greater than he. |
[No book] |
| [29]And all the people that heard him, justified God, as they had been baptized with John's baptism. |
[No book] |
| [30]But the Pharisees and Scribes rejected the good pleasure of God, against themselves; as they were not baptized by him. |
[No book] |
| [31]To what, therefore, shall I compare this generation? and to what are they like? |
[No book] |
| [32]They are like children, that sit in the market-place, and call to their fellows and say: We have piped to you, and ye did not dance; we have howled to you, and ye did not weep. |
[No book] |
| [33]For John the Baptizer came, not eating bread, and not drinking wine; and ye say: He hath a demon. |
[No book] |
| [34]The Son of man came, eating and drinking; and ye say: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and one fond of publicans and sinners. |
[No book] |
| [35]But wisdom is justified by all her children. |
[No book] |
| [36]And one of the Pharisees came, and asked him to eat with him. And he entered the house of the Pharisee, and reclined. |
[No book] |
| [37]And there was a woman in the city, who was a sinner; and when she learned that he reclined in the Pharisee's house, she took an alabaster box of perfume, |
[No book] |
| [38]and stood behind him, at his feet, and wept; and she began to bathe his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head; and she kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the perfume. |
[No book] |
| [39]And when the Pharisee that invited him, saw it, he thought within himself, and said: If this man were a prophet, he would know who she is, and what is her reputation; for the woman that toucheth him, is a sinner. |
[No book] |
| [40]And Jesus answered, and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to thee. He said to him: Say it, Rabbi. Jesus said to him: |
[No book] |
| [41]There were two debtors to a certain creditor; the one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty denarii. |
[No book] |
| [42]And as they had not the means of pay, he released them both. Which of them, therefore will love him most? |
[No book] |
| [43]Simon replied, and said: I suppose he to whom most was released. Jesus said to him: Thou hast judged correctly. |
[No book] |
| [44]And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, and thou gavest [me] no water for my feet; but she hath bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. |
[No book] |
| [45]Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. |
[No book] |
| [46]Thou didst not anoint my head with perfume; but she hath anointed my feet with perfumed ointment. |
[No book] |
| [47]I therefore say to thee: Her many sins are forgiven her, for she loveth much. But he, to whom little is forgiven, loveth little. |
[No book] |
| [48]And he said to the woman: Thy sins are forgiven thee. |
[No book] |
| [49]And they that were reclining, began to say in themselves: Who is this, that even forgiveth sins? |
[No book] |
| [50]And Jesus said to the woman: Thy faith hath given thee life. Go, in peace. |
