治百夫长的仆人

耶稣对百姓讲完了这一切的话,就进了迦百农

有一个百夫长所宝贵的仆人害病快要死了。 百夫长风闻耶稣的事,就托犹太人的几个长老去求耶稣来救他的仆人。 他们到了耶稣那里,就切切地求他,说:“你给他行这事是他所配得的, 因为他爱我们的百姓,给我们建造会堂。” 耶稣就和他们同去。离那家不远,百夫长托几个朋友去见耶稣,对他说:“主啊,不要劳动,因你到我舍下,我不敢当, 我也自以为不配去见你。只要你说一句话,我的仆人就必好了。 因为我在人的权下,也有兵在我以下,对这个说‘去!’他就去,对那个说‘来!’他就来,对我的仆人说‘你做这事!’他就去做。” 耶稣听见这话,就稀奇他,转身对跟随的众人说:“我告诉你们:这么大的信心,就是在以色列中我也没有遇见过!” 10 那托来的人回到百夫长家里,看见仆人已经好了。

叫拿因城寡妇之子复活

11 过了不多时[a],耶稣往一座城去,这城名叫拿因,他的门徒和极多的人与他同行。 12 将近城门,有一个死人被抬出来。这人是他母亲独生的儿子,他母亲又是寡妇。有城里的许多人同着寡妇送殡。 13 主看见那寡妇,就怜悯她,对她说:“不要哭!” 14 于是进前按着杠,抬的人就站住了。耶稣说:“少年人,我吩咐你,起来!” 15 那死人就坐起,并且说话。耶稣便把他交给他母亲。 16 众人都惊奇,归荣耀于神,说:“有大先知在我们中间兴起来了!”又说:“神眷顾了他的百姓!” 17 他这事的风声就传遍了犹太和周围地方。

施洗约翰差人问主

18 约翰的门徒把这些事都告诉约翰 19 他便叫了两个门徒来,打发他们到主那里去说:“那将要来的是你吗?还是我们等候别人呢?” 20 那两个人来到耶稣那里,说:“施洗的约翰打发我们来问你:那将要来的是你吗?还是我们等候别人呢?” 21 正当那时候,耶稣治好了许多有疾病的、受灾患的、被恶鬼附着的,又开恩叫好些瞎子能看见。 22 耶稣回答说:“你们去,把所看见、所听见的事告诉约翰,就是:瞎子看见,瘸子行走,长大麻风的洁净,聋子听见,死人复活,穷人有福音传给他们。 23 凡不因我跌倒的,就有福了!”

称赞施洗约翰

24 约翰所差来的人既走了,耶稣就对众人讲论约翰说:“你们从前出去到旷野是要看什么呢?要看风吹动的芦苇吗? 25 你们出去到底是要看什么?要看穿细软衣服的人吗?那穿华丽衣服、宴乐度日的人是在王宫里。 26 你们出去究竟是要看什么?要看先知吗?我告诉你们,是的,他比先知大多了。 27 经上记着说:‘我要差遣我的使者在你前面预备道路’,所说的就是这个人。 28 我告诉你们:凡妇人所生的,没有一个大过约翰的;然而神国里最小的比他还大。” 29 众百姓和税吏既受过约翰的洗,听见这话,就以神为义。 30 但法利赛人和律法师没有受过约翰的洗,竟为自己废弃了神的旨意。[b] 31 主又说:“这样,我可用什么比这世代的人呢?他们好像什么呢? 32 好像孩童坐在街市上,彼此呼叫说:‘我们向你们吹笛,你们不跳舞!我们向你们举哀,你们不啼哭!’ 33 施洗的约翰来,不吃饼不喝酒,你们说他是被鬼附着的。 34 人子来,也吃也喝,你们说他是贪食好酒的人,是税吏和罪人的朋友。 35 但智慧之子都以智慧为是。”

有罪的女人用香膏抹主

36 有一个法利赛人请耶稣和他吃饭,耶稣就到法利赛人家里去坐席。 37 那城里有一个女人,是个罪人,知道耶稣在法利赛人家里坐席,就拿着盛香膏的玉瓶, 38 站在耶稣背后,挨着他的脚哭,眼泪湿了耶稣的脚,就用自己的头发擦干,又用嘴连连亲他的脚,把香膏抹上。 39 请耶稣的法利赛人看见这事,心里说:“这人若是先知,必知道摸他的是谁,是个怎样的女人,乃是个罪人!” 40 耶稣对他说:西门,我有句话要对你说。”西门说:“夫子,请说。” 41 耶稣说:“一个债主有两个人欠他的债,一个欠五十两银子,一个欠五两银子。 42 因为他们无力偿还,债主就开恩免了他们两个人的债。这两个人哪一个更爱他呢?” 43 西门回答说:“我想是那多得恩免的人。”耶稣说:“你断的不错。”

爱大赦免也大

44 于是转过来向着那女人,便对西门说:“你看见这女人吗?我进了你的家,你没有给我水洗脚,但这女人用眼泪湿了我的脚,用头发擦干; 45 你没有与我亲嘴,但这女人从我进来的时候就不住地用嘴亲我的脚; 46 你没有用油抹我的头,但这女人用香膏抹我的脚。 47 所以我告诉你:她许多的罪都赦免了,因为她的爱多;但那赦免少的,他的爱就少。” 48 于是对那女人说:“你的罪赦免了!” 49 同席的人心里说:“这是什么人,竟赦免人的罪呢?” 50 耶稣对那女人说:“你的信救了你,平平安安地回去吧!”

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.

10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

11 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.

12 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.

13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

16 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.

17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.

18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

19 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?

20 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?

21 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.

22 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.

23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

24 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?

25 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.

26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

28 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.

29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

32 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.

33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

34 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!

35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

36 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.

37 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,

38 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.

39 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.

40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

44 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.

45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

47 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.

48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

The Faith of the Centurion(A)

When Jesus had finished saying all this(B) to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” So Jesus went with them.

He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.(C) For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son(D)

11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord(E) saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”

14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”(F) 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16 They were all filled with awe(G) and praised God.(H) “A great prophet(I) has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”(J) 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.(K)

Jesus and John the Baptist(L)

18 John’s(M) disciples(N) told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”

20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”

21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses(O) and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(P) 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”

24 After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet?(Q) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:

“‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,
    who will prepare your way before you.’[b](R)

28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God(S) is greater than he.”

29 (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John.(T) 30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law(U) rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)

31 Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:

“‘We played the pipe for you,
    and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
    and you did not cry.’

33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine,(V) and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(W) 35 But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”

Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman(X)(Y)

36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.

39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,(Z) he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”

40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”

“Tell me, teacher,” he said.

41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[c] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”

43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”

“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet,(AA) but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss,(AB) but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head,(AC) but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”

48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(AD)

49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you;(AE) go in peace.”(AF)
