 <<  Lukas 7 >> 

1WHEN Jesus had finished these talks to the people, he came to Capernaum,

2where it happened that there was a man very seriously ill, and, in fact at the point of death. He was the slave of a centurion who thought very highly of him.

3When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him with the request that he would come and save his slave's life.

4When they came to Jesus, they urged him strongly to grant this request, saying that the centurion deserved to have this done for him.

5"He loves our nation and has built us a synagogue out of his own pocket," they said.

6So Jesus went with them, but as he approached the house, the centurion sent some of his friends with the message, "Don't trouble yourself, sir! I'm not important enough for you to come into my house

7I didn't think I was fit to come to you in person. Just give the order, please, and my boy will recover.

8I am used to working under orders, and I have soldiers under me. I can say to one, 'Go',and he goes, or I can say to another, 'Come here',and he comes; or I can say to my slave, 'Do this job',and he does it."

9These words amazed Jesus and he turned to the crowd who were following him and said, "I have never found faith like this anywhere, even in Israel!"

10Then those who had been sent by the centurion returned to the house and found the slave perfectly well.

11Not long afterwards, Jesus went into a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large crowd.

12As he approached the city gate, it happened that some people were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his widowed mother. The usual crowd of fellowtownsmen was with her.

13When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry."

14Then he walked up and put his hand on the bier while the bearers stood still. Then he said, "Young man, get up!"

15And the dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus handed him to his mother.

16Everybody present was awestruck and they praised God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us and God has turned his face towards his people."

17And this report of him spread through the whole of Judaea and the surrounding countryside.

18John's disciples reported all these happenings to him.

19Then he, summoned two of them and sent them to the Lord with this message, "Are you the one who is to come, or are we to look for someone else?"

20When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you with this message, 'Are you the one who is to come, or are we to look for someone else?'"

21At that very time Jesus was healing many people of their diseases and ailments and evil spirits, and he restored sight to many who were blind.

22Then he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard. The blind are recovering their sight, cripples are walking again, lepers being healed, the deaf hearing, dead men are being brought to life again, and the good news is being given to those in need.

23And happy is the man who never loses his faith in me."

24When these messengers had gone back, Jesus began to talk to the crowd about John. "What did you go out into the desert to look at? Was it a reed waving in the breeze?

25Well, [what] was it you went out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? But the men who wear fine clothes live luxuriously in palaces.

26But what [did] you really go to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, a prophet and far more then a prophet!

27This is the man of whom the scripture says, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.

28"Believe me, no one greater than John has ever been born, and yet a humble member of the kingdom of God is greater than he.

29"All the people, yes, even the taxcollectors, when they heard John, acknowledged God and were baptized by his baptism.

30But the Pharisees and the experts in the Law frustrated God's purpose for them, for they refused John's baptism.

31"What can I say that the men of this generation are likewhat sort of men are they?

32They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other, 'We played at weddings for you, but you wouldn't dance, and we played at funerals for you, and you wouldn't cry!'

33For John the Baptist came in the strictest austerity and you say he is crazy.

34Then the Son of Man came, enjoying food and drink, and you say, 'Look, a drunkard and a glutton, a bosomfriend of the taxcollector and the outsider!"

35So wisdom is proved right by all her children!"

36Then one of the Pharisees asked Jesus to a meal with him. When Jesus came into the house, he took his place at the table

37and a woman, known in the town as a bad character, found out that Jesus was there and brought an alabaster flask of perfume

38and stood behind him crying, letting her tears fall on his feet and then drying them with her hair. Then she kissed them and anointed them with the perfume.

39When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet, he would know who this woman is and what sort of a person is touching him. He would have realised that she is a bad woman."

40Then Jesus spoke to him, "Simon, there is something I want to say to you." "Very well, Master," he returned, "say it."

41"Once upon a time, there were two men in debt to the same moneylender. One owed him fifty pounds and the other five.

42And since they were unable to pay, he generously cancelled both of their debts. Now, which one of them do you suppose will love him more?"

43"Well," returned Simon, "I suppose it will be the one who has been more generously treated." "Exactly," replied Jesus,

44and then turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "You see this woman? I came into your house but you provided no water to wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.

45You gave me no kiss of welcome, but she, from the moment I came in, has not stopped covering my feet with kisses.

46You gave me no oil for my head, but she has put perfume on my feet.

47That is why I tell you, Simon, that her sins, many as they are, are forgiven; for she has so much love. But the man who has little to be forgiven has only a little love to give."

48Then he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

49And the men at table with him began to say to themselves, "And who is this man, who even forgives sins?"

50But Jesus said to the woman, "It is your faith that has saved you. Go in peace."
