治好百夫长的僮仆(A)

耶稣对百姓讲完了这一切的话,就进了迦百农 有一个百夫长所器重的仆人害病,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,切切地求他说:“你为他做这事是他配得的; 因为他爱我们的民族,为我们建造会堂。” 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,不必劳驾,因你到舍下来,我不敢当。 我也自以为不配去见你,只要你说一句话,就会让我的僮仆得痊愈。 因为我被派在人的权下,也有兵在我之下。我对这个说:‘去!’他就去;对那个说:‘来!’他就来;对我的仆人说:‘做这事!’他就去做。” 耶稣听到这些话,就很惊讶,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,我也没有见过。” 10 那差来的人回到百夫长家里,发现仆人已经好了。

使寡妇的独子起死回生

11 过了不久[a],耶稣往一座城去,这城名叫拿因,他的门徒和一大群人与他同行。 12 当他走近城门时,有一个死人被抬出来。这人是他母亲独生的儿子,而他母亲又是寡妇。城里的许多人与她一同送殡。 13 主看见那寡妇就怜悯她,对她说:“不要哭。” 14 于是耶稣进前来,按着杠,抬的人就站住了。耶稣说:“年轻人,我吩咐你,起来!” 15 那死人就坐了起来,开始说话,耶稣就把他交给他的母亲。 16 众人都惊奇,归荣耀给 神,说:“有大先知在我们当中兴起了!”又说:“ 神眷顾了他的百姓!” 17 关于耶稣的这事就传遍了犹太和周围地区。

施洗约翰差人问主(B)

18 约翰的门徒把这些事都告诉约翰。于是约翰叫了两个门徒来, 19 差他们到主[b]那里去,说:“将要来的那位就是你吗?还是我们要等候别人呢?” 20 那两个人来到耶稣那里,说:“施洗的约翰差我们来问你:‘将要来的那位就是你吗?还是我们要等候别人呢?’” 21 就在那时,耶稣治好了许多患疾病的,得瘟疫的,被邪灵附身的,又开恩使好些盲人能看见。 22 耶稣回答他们:“你们去,把所看见、所听见的告诉约翰:就是盲人看见,瘸子行走,麻风病人得洁净,聋子听见,死人复活,穷人听到福音。 23 凡不因我跌倒的有福了!”

24 约翰所差来的人一走,耶稣就对众人谈到约翰,说:“你们从前到旷野去,是要看什么呢?被吹动的芦苇吗? 25 你们出去到底是要看什么?穿细软衣服的人吗?看哪,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?是先知吗?是的,我告诉你们,他比先知大多了。 27 这个人就是经上所说的:

‘看哪,我要差遣我的使者在你面前,
他要在你前面为你预备道路。’

28 我告诉你们,凡女子所生的,没有比约翰大的;但在 神国里,最小的比他还大。” 29 众百姓和税吏已受过约翰的洗,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,竟废弃了 神为他们所定的旨意。[c]

31 主又说:“这样,我该用什么来比这世代的人呢?他们好像什么呢? 32 这正像孩童坐在街市上,彼此喊叫:

‘我们为你们吹笛,你们不跳舞;
我们唱哀歌,你们不啼哭。’

33 施洗的约翰来,不吃饼,不喝酒,你们说他是被鬼附的。 34 人子来,也吃也喝,你们又说这人贪食好酒,是税吏和罪人的朋友。 35 而智慧是由所有智慧的人来证实的。”

有罪的女人得蒙赦免

36 有一个法利赛人请耶稣和他吃饭,耶稣就到那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,就拿着盛满香膏的玉瓶, 38 站在耶稣背后,挨着他的脚哭,眼泪滴湿了耶稣的脚,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,一定知道摸他的是谁,是个怎样的女人;她是个罪人哪!” 40 耶稣回应他说:“西门,我有话要对你说。”西门说:“老师,请说。” 41 耶稣说:“有两个人欠了某一个债主的钱,一个欠五百个银币,一个欠五十个银币。 42 因为他们无力偿还,债主就开恩赦免了他们两个人的债。那么,这两个人哪一个更爱他呢?” 43 西门回答:“我想是那多得赦免的人。”耶稣对他说:“你的判断不错。” 44 于是他转过来向着那女人,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,但这女人用眼泪滴湿了我的脚,又用头发擦干。 45 你没有亲我,但这女人从我进来就不住地亲我的脚。 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,因为她爱的多;而那少得赦免的,爱的就少。” 48 于是耶稣对那女人说:“你的罪都赦免了。” 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,平安地回去吧!”

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)

Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant

After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, (A)he entered Capernaum. Now a centurion had a servant[a] who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. When the centurion[b] heard about Jesus, (B)he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, (C)“He is worthy to have you do this for him, for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us (D)our synagogue.” And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, (E)do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But (F)say the word, and let my servant be healed. For I too am a man set under authority, with 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.” When Jesus heard these things, (G)he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such (H)faith.” 10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.

Jesus Raises a Widow's Son

11 Soon afterward[c] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. 12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, (I)the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, (J)he had compassion on her and (K)said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then he came up and touched (L)the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, (M)arise.” 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus[d] (N)gave him to his mother. 16 Fear seized them all, and (O)they glorified God, saying, (P)“A great prophet has arisen among us!” and (Q)“God has visited his people!” 17 And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.

Messengers from John the Baptist

18 (R)(S)The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John, 19 calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one (T)who is to come, or (U)shall we look for another?” 20 And when the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one (V)who is to come, or (W)shall we look for another?’” 21 In that hour (X)he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and (Y)on many who were blind he bestowed sight. 22 And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: (Z)the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, (AA)lepers[e] are cleansed, and (AB)the deaf hear, (AC)the dead are raised up, (AD)the poor have good news preached to them. 23 And blessed is the one who is (AE)not offended by me.”

24 When John's messengers had gone, Jesus[f] began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out (AF)into the wilderness to see? (AG)A reed shaken by the wind? 25 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing and live in luxury are in kings' courts. 26 What then did you go out to see? (AH)A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written,

(AI)“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
    who will prepare your way before you.’

28 I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” 29 ((AJ)When all the people heard this, and (AK)the tax collectors too, they declared God just,[g] (AL)having been baptized with (AM)the baptism of John, 30 (AN)but the Pharisees and (AO)the lawyers (AP)rejected (AQ)the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

31 “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another,

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

33 For John the Baptist has come (AR)eating no bread and (AS)drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come (AT)eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, (AU)a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Yet (AV)wisdom is justified by all her children.”

A Sinful Woman Forgiven

36 (AW)One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. 37 (AX)And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and (AY)wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If (AZ)this man were (BA)a prophet, he (BB)would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” 40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”

41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred (BC)denarii, and the other fifty. 42 (BD)When they could not pay, he (BE)cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; (BF)you gave me no water for my feet, but (BG)she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 (BH)You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to (BI)kiss my feet. 46 (BJ)You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, (BK)which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to her, (BL)“Your sins are forgiven.” 49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among[h] themselves, (BM)“Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to the woman, (BN)“Your faith has saved you; (BO)go in peace.”
