百夫長的信心

當耶穌向民眾[a]說完了這一切話[b],就進了迦百農 有個百夫長所重視的奴僕病得快要死了。 百夫長聽說了耶穌的事,就託幾個猶太人的長老到耶穌那裡,求耶穌來救他的奴僕。 他們來到耶穌那裡,殷切地求他說:「這人配得你的幫助, 因為他愛我們的同胞,還為我們建了會堂。」 於是耶穌與他們一起去了。當耶穌離他家不遠的時候,百夫長又託了幾個朋友來對耶穌說:「主啊,不用麻煩了,我實在不配請你進我家, 我自己也覺得不配到你那裡去。只要你說一句話,我的僕人就會痊癒的。 事實上,我也被放在人的權下,也有士兵在我之下。我對這個說『去』,他就去;對那個說『來』,他就來;對我的奴僕說『做這事』,他就去做。」

耶穌聽了這些話,十分感慨,轉過身來對跟隨他的那群人說:「我告訴你們:在以色列我沒有見過這麼大的信心[c]。」 10 那些受託的人回到家裡時,發現那[d]奴僕已經痊癒了。

寡婦之子復活

11 第二天,耶穌往一個叫做拿因的城去,他的[e]門徒們和一大群人也與他同行。 12 當他接近城門口的時候,看哪,有一個死人被抬出來了。這人是獨生兒子,他的母親又是寡婦。一大群城裡的人陪著她。 13 主看見那寡婦,就對她動了憐憫之心,向她說:「不要哭了!」 14 於是耶穌上前去,按著棺架,抬棺架的人就停住了。耶穌說:「年輕人,我吩咐你起來!」

15 那死人就坐了起來,開始說話。耶穌把他交給他的母親。 16 每個人敬畏不已,就不住地榮耀神,說:「我們中間興起了一位偉大的先知!」又說:「神臨到[f]他的子民了!」 17 於是有關耶穌的這消息傳遍了整個猶太和周圍所有的地區。

論施洗約翰

18 約翰的門徒們把這一切事都告訴了約翰。他就叫來他的兩個門徒, 19 派他們到主[g]那裡去問:「將要來的那一位就是你嗎?還是我們應該等候另一位呢?」

20 那兩個人來到耶穌那裡,說:「施洗者[h]約翰派我們來問你:『將要來的那一位就是你嗎?還是我們應該等候另一位呢?』」

21 就在那[i]時候,耶穌治癒了許多有疾病的、有苦痛的、被邪靈附著的人,又施恩給許多瞎眼的使他們能看見。 22 於是耶穌[j]回答那兩個人,說:「你們去把所看見、所聽見的告訴約翰,就是:瞎眼的得以看見,瘸腿的行走,痲瘋病人被潔淨,耳聾的聽見,死人得以復活,窮人得以聽到福音。 23 凡不因我被絆倒[k]的人,就蒙福了。」 24 約翰的使者離開了,耶穌就開始對眾人談起約翰,說:「你們曾經到曠野去,是要觀看什麼呢?一根被風吹動的蘆葦嗎? 25 你們出去,究竟是要看什麼呢?一個身穿細軟衣服的人嗎?看哪,那些穿華麗衣服、生活放蕩的人在王宮裡。 26 你們出去,究竟是要看什麼呢?一位先知嗎?是的,我告訴你們:他比先知還大。 27 他就是經上記載的那個人:

『看哪,我要差派我的使者在你前頭,
他要在你之前預備你的道[l]。』[m]

28 「我告訴你們:在女人所生的人中,沒有一個[n]約翰[o]更大的;然而在神的國裡,再小的也比約翰更大。」

29 所有已經受過約翰洗禮的民眾和稅吏,聽了這話,都承認神是義的; 30 而沒有受過他洗禮的法利賽人和律法師們,就棄絕了神對他們的計劃。

麻木的世代

31 主又說:[p]「我要把這世代的人比做什麼呢?他們好比什麼呢? 32 他們就好比:孩子們坐在街市上,彼此呼叫,說:

『我們為你們吹笛,
你們卻不跳舞;
我們唱哀歌,
你們也不哭泣。』

33 「因為施洗者[q]約翰來了,不吃餅,也不喝酒,你們就說:『他有鬼魔附身!』 34 人子來了,也吃也喝,你們就說:『看,這個貪食好酒的人!稅吏和罪人的朋友!』 35 然而,智慧是憑著智慧的眾兒女被證明為義的。」

赦免多愛就多

36 有一個法利賽人請耶穌與他一起吃飯,耶穌就進到那法利賽人的家裡坐席。 37 當時,城裡有一個女人,是個罪人,她知道耶穌在那法利賽人家裡坐席,就拿著一個盛了香液的玉瓶來。 38 她站在耶穌後面,在他的腳邊哭泣,開始用淚水沾濕耶穌的腳,再用自己的頭髮擦乾,又親吻他的腳,用香液膏抹。

39 那邀請耶穌的法利賽人看見了,心裡說:「這個人如果是先知,就會知道摸他的是誰,是個什麼樣的女人,因為她是個罪人。」

40 耶穌對他說:西門,我有話要對你說。」

西門說:「老師,請說。」

41 「有一個債主有兩個欠債人。一個欠五百個銀幣[r],另一個欠五十個銀幣。 42 他們無力償還,債主就免了他們兩個人的債。那麼,你說[s]他們哪一個會更愛那債主呢?」

43 西門回答說:「我想是債主免債更多的那一個。」

耶穌說:「你判斷得對。」 44 於是,他轉向那女人,對西門說:「你看見這個女人嗎?我進了你的家,你沒有給我水洗腳,但她卻用淚水沾濕我的腳,又用她的頭髮擦乾。 45 你沒有向我行親吻禮,而她從我進來的時候起,就不停地親我的腳。 46 你沒有用油來膏抹我的頭,她卻用香液膏抹我的腳。 47 故此,我告訴你:她的罪孽被赦免得多,所以[t]她愛得多;而那被赦免少的,就愛得少。」 48 接著,耶穌對那女人說:「你的罪孽已經被赦免了。」

49 那些與他一同坐席的人就心裡想:「這個人是誰,竟然赦免罪?」

50 但耶穌對那女人說:「你的信救了你,平平安安地去吧。」

Jesús sana al siervo de un centurión

(Mt. 8.5-13)

Después que hubo terminado todas sus palabras al pueblo que le oía, entró en Capernaum. Y el siervo de un centurión, a quien este quería mucho, estaba enfermo y a punto de morir. Cuando el centurión oyó hablar de Jesús, le envió unos ancianos de los judíos, rogándole que viniese y sanase a su siervo. Y ellos vinieron a Jesús y le rogaron con solicitud, diciéndole: Es digno de que le concedas esto; porque ama a nuestra nación, y nos edificó una sinagoga. Y Jesús fue con ellos. Pero cuando ya no estaban lejos de la casa, el centurión envió a él unos amigos, diciéndole: Señor, no te molestes, pues no soy digno de que entres bajo mi techo; por lo que ni aun me tuve por digno de venir a ti; pero di la palabra, y mi siervo será sano. Porque también yo soy hombre puesto bajo autoridad, y tengo soldados bajo mis órdenes; y digo a este: Ve, y va; y al otro: Ven, y viene; y a mi siervo: Haz esto, y lo hace. Al oír esto, Jesús se maravilló de él, y volviéndose, dijo a la gente que le seguía: Os digo que ni aun en Israel he hallado tanta fe. 10 Y al regresar a casa los que habían sido enviados, hallaron sano al siervo que había estado enfermo.

Jesús resucita al hijo de la viuda de Naín

11 Aconteció después, que él iba a la ciudad que se llama Naín, e iban con él muchos de sus discípulos, y una gran multitud. 12 Cuando llegó cerca de la puerta de la ciudad, he aquí que llevaban a enterrar a un difunto, hijo único de su madre, la cual era viuda; y había con ella mucha gente de la ciudad. 13 Y cuando el Señor la vio, se compadeció de ella, y le dijo: No llores. 14 Y acercándose, tocó el féretro; y los que lo llevaban se detuvieron. Y dijo: Joven, a ti te digo, levántate. 15 Entonces se incorporó el que había muerto, y comenzó a hablar. Y lo dio a su madre. 16 Y todos tuvieron miedo, y glorificaban a Dios, diciendo: Un gran profeta se ha levantado entre nosotros; y: Dios ha visitado a su pueblo. 17 Y se extendió la fama de él por toda Judea, y por toda la región de alrededor.

Los mensajeros de Juan el Bautista

(Mt. 11.2-19)

18 Los discípulos de Juan le dieron las nuevas de todas estas cosas. Y llamó Juan a dos de sus discípulos, 19 y los envió a Jesús, para preguntarle: ¿Eres tú el que había de venir, o esperaremos a otro? 20 Cuando, pues, los hombres vinieron a él, dijeron: Juan el Bautista nos ha enviado a ti, para preguntarte: ¿Eres tú el que había de venir, o esperaremos a otro? 21 En esa misma hora sanó a muchos de enfermedades y plagas, y de espíritus malos, y a muchos ciegos les dio la vista. 22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Id, haced saber a Juan lo que habéis visto y oído: los ciegos ven, los cojos andan, los leprosos son limpiados, los sordos oyen,(A) los muertos son resucitados, y a los pobres es anunciado el evangelio;(B) 23 y bienaventurado es aquel que no halle tropiezo en mí.

24 Cuando se fueron los mensajeros de Juan, comenzó a decir de Juan a la gente: ¿Qué salisteis a ver al desierto? ¿Una caña sacudida por el viento? 25 Mas ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿A un hombre cubierto de vestiduras delicadas? He aquí, los que tienen vestidura preciosa y viven en deleites, en los palacios de los reyes están. 26 Mas ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿A un profeta? Sí, os digo, y más que profeta. 27 Este es de quien está escrito:

He aquí, envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz,

El cual preparará tu camino delante de ti.(C)

28 Os digo que entre los nacidos de mujeres, no hay mayor profeta que Juan el Bautista; pero el más pequeño en el reino de Dios es mayor que él. 29 Y todo el pueblo y los publicanos, cuando lo oyeron, justificaron a Dios, bautizándose con el bautismo de Juan. 30 Mas los fariseos y los intérpretes de la ley desecharon los designios de Dios respecto de sí mismos, no siendo bautizados por Juan.(D)

31 Y dijo el Señor: ¿A qué, pues, compararé los hombres de esta generación, y a qué son semejantes? 32 Semejantes son a los muchachos sentados en la plaza, que dan voces unos a otros y dicen: Os tocamos flauta, y no bailasteis; os endechamos, y no llorasteis. 33 Porque vino Juan el Bautista, que ni comía pan ni bebía vino, y decís: Demonio tiene. 34 Vino el Hijo del Hombre, que come y bebe, y decís: Este es un hombre comilón y bebedor de vino, amigo de publicanos y de pecadores. 35 Mas la sabiduría es justificada por todos sus hijos.

Jesús en el hogar de Simón el fariseo

36 Uno de los fariseos rogó a Jesús que comiese con él. Y habiendo entrado en casa del fariseo, se sentó a la mesa. 37 Entonces una mujer de la ciudad, que era pecadora, al saber que Jesús estaba a la mesa en casa del fariseo, trajo un frasco de alabastro con perfume; 38 y estando detrás de él a sus pies, llorando, comenzó a regar con lágrimas sus pies, y los enjugaba con sus cabellos; y besaba sus pies, y los ungía con el perfume.(E) 39 Cuando vio esto el fariseo que le había convidado, dijo para sí: Este, si fuera profeta, conocería quién y qué clase de mujer es la que le toca, que es pecadora. 40 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Simón, una cosa tengo que decirte. Y él le dijo: Di, Maestro. 41 Un acreedor tenía dos deudores: el uno le debía quinientos denarios, y el otro cincuenta; 42 y no teniendo ellos con qué pagar, perdonó a ambos. Di, pues, ¿cuál de ellos le amará más? 43 Respondiendo Simón, dijo: Pienso que aquel a quien perdonó más. Y él le dijo: Rectamente has juzgado. 44 Y vuelto a la mujer, dijo a Simón: ¿Ves esta mujer? Entré en tu casa, y no me diste agua para mis pies; mas esta ha regado mis pies con lágrimas, y los ha enjugado con sus cabellos. 45 No me diste beso; mas esta, desde que entré, no ha cesado de besar mis pies. 46 No ungiste mi cabeza con aceite; mas esta ha ungido con perfume mis pies. 47 Por lo cual te digo que sus muchos pecados le son perdonados, porque amó mucho; mas aquel a quien se le perdona poco, poco ama. 48 Y a ella le dijo: Tus pecados te son perdonados. 49 Y los que estaban juntamente sentados a la mesa, comenzaron a decir entre sí: ¿Quién es este, que también perdona pecados? 50 Pero él dijo a la mujer: Tu fe te ha salvado, ve en paz.

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.

Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant(A)

Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He (B)entered Capernaum. And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving, “for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.”

Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But (C)say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under (D)authority, having 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, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” 10 And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well [a]who had been sick.

Jesus Raises the Son of the Widow of Nain

11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd. 12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, He had (E)compassion on her and said to her, (F)“Do not weep.” 14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, (G)arise.” 15 So he who was dead (H)sat up and began to speak. And He (I)presented him to his mother.

16 (J)Then fear [b]came upon all, and they (K)glorified God, saying, (L)“A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, (M)“God has visited His people.” 17 And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.

John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus(N)

18 (O)Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things. 19 And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to [c]Jesus, saying, “Are You (P)the Coming One, or [d]do we look for another?”

20 When the men had come to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?’ ” 21 And that very hour He cured many of [e]infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.

22 (Q)Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: (R)that the blind (S)see, the lame (T)walk, the lepers are (U)cleansed, the deaf (V)hear, the dead are raised, (W)the poor have the gospel preached to them. 23 And blessed is he who is not [f]offended because of Me.”

24 (X)When the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings’ courts. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written:

(Y)‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’

28 For I say to you, among those born of women there is [g]not a (Z)greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29 And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors [h]justified God, (AA)having been baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and [i]lawyers rejected (AB)the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

31 [j]And the Lord said, (AC)“To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying:

‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not weep.’

33 For (AD)John the Baptist came (AE)neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come (AF)eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a [k]winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 (AG)But wisdom is justified by all her children.”

A Sinful Woman Forgiven

36 (AH)Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat. 37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, 38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, (AI)“This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.”

40 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”

So he said, “Teacher, say it.”

41 “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred (AJ)denarii, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?”

43 Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.”

And He said to him, “You have rightly judged.” 44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no (AK)water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. 45 You gave Me no (AL)kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. 46 (AM)You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. 47 (AN)Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

48 Then He said to her, (AO)“Your sins are forgiven.”

49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, (AP)“Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50 Then He said to the woman, (AQ)“Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
