King James Version
When Jesus
had concluded
His discourse
in the hearing
of the people, He went
to
Capernaum.
Now
when he
had ended
all
his sayings
in the audience
of the people, he entered
into
Capernaum.
There
a highly
valued
servant of
a
centurion
was sick and about
to die.
And
a certain
centurion's
servant ,
who
was dear
unto
him,
was
sick ,
and ready
to die.
When the
centurion
heard about
Jesus, he sent some
Jewish
elders to
ask
Him to
come and heal his servant.
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.
They came to Jesus and
pleaded
with
Him earnestly
, “This
man
is
worthy to
have
You
grant
this ,
And
when
they came to Jesus ,
they
besought
him instantly
, saying,
That
he
was
worthy for
whom
he
should
do
this :
for he loves
our nation and has
built our
synagogue. ”
For he loveth
our nation ,
and he
hath
built us
a
synagogue.
So
Jesus went with them. But
when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with
the
message:
“
Lord, do
not
trouble Yourself,
for I am not worthy to
have
You
come
under my roof .
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 :
That
is
why
I did
not
consider
myself worthy to come to
You.
But just
say the
word, and my servant will
be healed.
Wherefore
neither
thought
I myself worthy to come unto
thee:
but say in
a
word, and my servant shall
be healed.
For I myself
am a man under authority, with
soldiers
under me .
I tell
one to
go, and he goes
; and another
to come, and he comes.
I
tell
my servant to
do something
, and he does
it. ”
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 this
, He marveled
at the
centurion.
Turning
to
the
crowd
following
Him, He
said, “
I tell
you, not
even
in
Israel
have
I found such
great faith. ”
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 when
the
messengers
returned
to the house, they
found the servant in
good
health
.
And they
that
were
sent,
returning
to the house, found the servant whole
that
had
been
sick
.
Soon
afterward
, Jesus
went to
a town
called Nain .
His disciples went with Him, accompanied
by
a
large
crowd
.
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
.
As
He approached
the town
gate, He
saw
a dead man being
carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow .
And a
large
crowd
from
the town
was with her.
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.
When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do
not
weep. ”
And
when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her ,
and said unto
her
, Weep not
.
Then
He went
up
and touched the coffin,
and those
carrying
it
stood still. “Young
man,”
He said, “
I tell
you
, get
up!”
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 the
dead man
sat up and began to speak !
Then
Jesus
gave
him back
to his mother.
And he
that
was
dead sat up ,
and began to speak .
And
he
delivered
him to his mother.
A sense
of
awe
swept
over
all of
them,
and they glorified God .
“
A great prophet has
appeared
among us !”
they
said.
“
God has
visited His people !”
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 the
news
about
Jesus
spread
throughout Judea
and all the surrounding
region.
And this
rumour
of
him
went
forth
throughout all
Judaea,
and throughout
all the region round
about
.
Then
John’s
disciples informed
him about
all these things.
And
the
disciples of
John
shewed
him of
all these things.
So
John called
two of his disciples and
sent them to ask
the
Lord
, “Are
You
the
One
who
was
to
come
, or
should we
look for someone
else
? ”
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 came
to
Jesus
, they said, “
John the
Baptist sent us to
ask
, ‘Are
You
the
One
who
was
to
come
, or
should we
look for someone
else
? ’”
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
?
At
that very
hour Jesus
healed
many people
of their diseases,
afflictions
, and evil spirits ,
and He
gave
sight
to
many who
were blind.
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
.
So
He
replied
, “
Go back
and report
to
John what you
have seen and heard :
The blind receive
sight
, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and
the
good
news
is
preached
to the poor.
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
.
Blessed is the
one
who
does
not fall
away
on
account
of
Me. ”
And
blessed is he,
whosoever
shall
not be
offended
in
me.
After
John’s
messengers had
left
, Jesus
began to speak to
the crowds
about
John :
“
What did
you
go
out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying
in
the wind?
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?
Otherwise,
what did
you
go
out to see? A man dressed
in fine
clothes
? Look
, those
who
wear
elegant
clothing
and live in
luxury
are found
in palaces
.
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
.
What then
did
you
go
out to see? A prophet? Yes
, I tell
you, and more than a prophet.
But
what went
ye
out for
to see? A prophet? Yea
, I say
unto
you, and much
more than a prophet.
This is the
one
about
whom it is written :
‘
Behold, I will
send My messenger ahead
of
You
, who
will
prepare Your
way before You
. ’
This is he,
of
whom it is written ,
Behold, I send my messenger before
thy
face
, which
shall
prepare thy
way before thee
.
I tell
you, among those born of women there is no
one
greater than John ,
yet
even
the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. ”
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.
All the people who
heard this
, even
the tax
collectors
, acknowledged
God’s
justice.
For
they
had
received
the baptism of John.
And
all the people that
heard him
, and
the publicans
, justified
God,
being
baptized
with
the baptism of John.
But the Pharisees and experts
in
the
law
rejected God’s
purpose
for
themselves, because
they
had
not been
baptized by
John
.
But the Pharisees and lawyers
rejected the
counsel
of
God
against
themselves, being
not baptized of
him
.
“To
what
, then ,
can
I compare
the men of this generation? What are they like?
And
the
Lord
said
, Whereunto
then shall
I liken
the men of this generation? and
to
what are they like?
They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out
to
one another :
‘
We played
the
flute
for
you, and you
did
not dance
; we sang
a
dirge
, and you
did
not weep
. ’
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 you
say, ‘
He has
a demon!’
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine ;
and ye
say, He hath
a devil.
The Son of Man came
eating and drinking ,
and you
say, ‘Look
at
this
glutton
and drunkard
, a friend of tax
collectors
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 vindicated
by
all her children. ”
But wisdom is justified
of
all her children.
Then
one of the Pharisees invited
Jesus
to
eat with him ,
and He entered
the Pharisee’s
house and reclined
at
the
table
.
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
.
When
a sinful
woman from
that
town
learned
that
Jesus
was dining
there
, she brought an alabaster jar
of perfume.
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,
As
she
stood behind
Him
at His feet weeping, she
began to wet
His feet with her
tears and wipe them with her hair.
Then
she
kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume
.
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
.
When the Pharisee who
had invited
Jesus
saw this
, he said
to
himself, “If
this man were a prophet, He
would know
who this
is
and what kind
of woman is touching
Him —
for she is a sinner !”
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 .
But
Jesus answered
him, “
Simon, I have something
to tell
you
. ”
“Tell
me
, Teacher
, ”
he
said
.
And
Jesus answering
said
unto
him, Simon, I have somewhat
to say
unto
thee
. And
he
saith
, Master
, say
on
.
“Two
men
were
debtors
to
a certain moneylender.
One owed him
five hundred denarii
, and the other fifty.
There
was
a certain creditor
which
had
two
debtors:
the
one owed five hundred pence
, and the other fifty.
When they were
unable
to repay
him
, he forgave both
of
them. Which
one,
then
, will love him more
? ”
And
when they had
nothing
to pay
, he frankly
forgave them both
. Tell
me
therefore
, which
of
them
will love him most
?
“
I suppose the
one
who
was
forgiven
more
, ”
Simon
replied
. “You
have
judged
correctly,”
Jesus
said.
Simon
answered
and
said,
I suppose that
he
, to
whom
he
forgave
most
. And
he
said unto
him,
Thou
hast
rightly
judged
.
And turning
toward
the woman, He
said to
Simon, “Do
you
see
this woman? When
I entered your
house, you
did
not
give
Me water for My feet ,
but she wet
My feet with her
tears and wiped them with her hair
.
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
.
You
did
not
greet
Me with
a
kiss ,
but she
has
not stopped
kissing
My feet since
I
arrived
.
Thou
gavest
me no
kiss :
but this
woman
since
the
time
I
came
in
hath
not ceased
to
kiss
my feet.
You
did
not
anoint
My head with oil ,
but she
has
anointed My feet with perfume
.
My head with oil thou
didst
not
anoint:
but this
woman
hath
anointed my feet with ointment
.
Therefore
I tell
you
, because
her many
sins have
been
forgiven
, she has
loved much .
But he
who
has
been
forgiven
little loves
little. ”
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.
Then
Jesus
said to
her, “Your
sins are forgiven. ”
And
he
said unto
her, Thy
sins are forgiven.
But
those
at the
table
began to say to
themselves, “
Who is this who
even
forgives
sins? ”
And
they
that
sat
at meat
with
him
began to say within
themselves, Who is this that
forgiveth
sins also
?
And Jesus
told
the woman, “Your
faith has
saved you
; go in peace. ”
And he
said
to
the woman, Thy
faith hath
saved thee
; go in peace.
